It's not just for macro work as some have posted in to state. I would not dream of doing any serious shoot without a tripod! You just never know what will happen. Your flash goes out, the building looses power, you want some depth of field, you realize you need to be shooting with an extra slow film. I've shot all kinds of fast breaking situations with a tripod and was glad for it. I love cable releases. I love a winder! dot dot dot Mark Rabiner
