When it comes to learning how to vlog there are a few things that can help make your vlogs stand out from the rest. One of them is using a tripod to shoot your vlogs and your video. However, I'll be the first to tell you there are exceptions to this rule. Take a listen, I'll explain.

So what is "LizzieBtv" and why should you care? Well, I'm LizzieB - a former tv news anchor and reporter who spent 15-plus years working days, nights, early mornings, holidays and weekends to bring viewers the news of the day.
For a good long time, I thrived on reporting breaking news and anchoring from the set. The daily dose of heart pumping adrenaline was addictive. But several years ago I took a fabulous life detour. I got married, had a baby, quit my tv news job and ended up with a nasty dose of postpartum depression. (It's real Tom, just ask Brooke!)
In the blink of an eye, I went from a career woman dressed in snazzy suits with very big hair and camera ready makeup to a crazy lady who was constantly harried, unprepared and disheveled. I won't lie, I was a new mom and I was a mess.
Fortunately, my love for reporting kicked in and I delved into researching all things mom-related.
Look, I'm no expert. I'm a real mom, wife, friend and daughter trying to balance it all. I don't know everything and never will, but I have learned a few parenting tips and tricks along the way and I want to share them with you. And hopefully you can enlighten me with your motherhood triumphs and challenges as well.
Whether you stay for two minutes or two hours - thanks for dropping by LizzieBtv... the place where you'll always find "views of a real mom" not a super mom. Welcome to the journey!
Great vlog! I totally agree with you too. I use both. I actually bought the swiggly tripod for my aunt as a gift last year and she loves it!
You rock Lizzie!
We usually tripod since we are having discussions. Then we can just focus on the content and not worry about the camera. We are in the process of creating a video coming out in a few weeks about a dieting challenge we are doing with each other. So fun to create…no tripod…and unfortunately since we can’t drop 5lbs in one day we haven’t been able to finish the video yet:) Have a great day. Holly
Haha! Yup… I like to work the “still” angle… but sometimes have to carry that camera. I like how you wrapped it up… you can’t just use one method
But I have my fave 
I’m with you gals. When I’m sitting and talking I prefer to use a tripod – although sometimes you just have to do without. I highly prone to motion sickness so I really try not to get too crazy with the video camera when I’m shooting freestyle.
I’ve had the same tripod for a long time, I got it back when my dad bought me a camcorder.
I really didn’t ever use it, but I kept it. I was so excited the other day when I pulled it out and saw that it works with my new digital camera! It’s a lot like your big tripod. It folds down really compactly and is very handy.
How funny, we’ve had the tripod forever and a day too! It was collecting dust in a closet when I realized I didn’t have to go out and buy a new one. It’s an oldy but a goody.
