**Tripods** are used to mount video cameras, essentially acting as a portable surface for them.

## Usage

Picking up a video camera and placing (default: F on keyboard) it on top of the tripod will mount the camera on the tripod. Carrying the tripod afterwards will bring the camera along as well, so the player does not need to carry both an empty tripod and an unmounted video camera. The video camera can be removed from the tripod by picking it up (default: E on keyboard).

A tripod can be placed by dropping (default: G on keyboard) it, making it drop below the player in the direction they are facing. Tripods can also be placed via the Secondary Use (default: F on keyboard) key; holding this key will show a translucent outline of its placement, which can be adjusted by moving the mouse left or right. Tripods are bulky items, and thus take up your hand slot while carrying it; they cannot be stored in your inventory, and switching to another item or hand while carrying a tripod will automatically drop the tripod. Additionally, tripods will hinder player movements when walked through, forcing player to more carefully chose where to place them.

The tripod will allow players to position video cameras in places where no suitable surface is available, but will also reduce the likeliness of the ghost knocking over the camera than if it was placed down on its own. The stability of the tripod against ghost tempering will depend on its tier.

Additionally, Tier II and III tripods have a motorized mount, allowing to rotate the camera left or right by using the arrows in the bottom right corner of the computer in the van.

## Strategies

* The rotation feature of the Tier II and III tripods may allow players to observe the entierty of the room with a single camera, allowing to more easily find Ghost orbs or track the ghost during a hunt.
* Avoid placing tripods in hallways, doorways or absentmindedly in the middle of a room, as the hindrance they cause to player movement may prove to be fatal in the event of an unexpected hunt.
