MindBites Insight #4 (Tripods)  

As with all things created, a stable structure must be formed upon a solid foundation. Such is true with your education, hence the existence of these little video tutorials, as well as your shot. So this week, the MindBite Insight discusses the benefits and utilization of Tripods.
