Look at the base plate of your camera. There should be a threaded socket there. Your tripod will be equipped with a corresponding screw in its head plate. The industry has standardized on a screw-and-socket arrangement (it's called 1/4" x 20 if you care). All tripods and all cameras should fit one another. Many camera sockets, and some tripod screws, are now plastic or nylon so you need to be more than usually careful not to "cross thread" and "strip" the threads in either the socket or the screw. Underneath the tripod head the screw usually has some sort of knurled handle or grip for turning it, plus a wheel. You're not going to use the wheel yet. Using the knurled grip, back the tripod screw down until it just shows above the head plate. Position the camera's socket over the screw and gently start the screw into the socket by turning the knurled handle. If you feel resistance, back it out and try again. Any serious resistance may mean the screw is cross threaded and if you continue you risk stripping. When you have the screw well into the socket (about 1/4" will do it), the camera will now be attached to the tripod but you'll probably notice that it "flops." This is where the wheel on the screw under the tripod head comes in. By turning the wheel up the screw under the head you tighten the base plate of the camera against the head plate of the tripod until the camera and the tripod are a single unit. Just as you must be cautious about cross threading, you don't want to over tighten the camera to the head plate. Most of these things are relatively delicate and can be damaged or ruined by too much enthusiasm. You just don't want the camera to move independently of the tripod. A couple of tips: you can defeat the purpose of a tripod if you touch the camera while tripping the shutter for a long exposure. Use a cable release or electronic release. Don't have a cable or the camera won't accept one? Try using the camera's self timer so you're not touching it when it trips. If your camera lacks a threaded socket, you can still support it on the tripod head by hand. It's not as good as attaching it, but it's better than no support at all for a longish exposure. On that subject, you can also steady any camera for any exposure that might otherwise "smear" by bracing or resting it on a chair, a table, a car roof, a handy railing, or whatever you can find. Bracing your elbows on anything handy may help as well. Tripods aren't always necessary: See the related questions on tripod use referenced below.
To my knowledge, yes, they do. All cameras that I've seen have the hole at the bottom that you screw onto the tripod, so I think all cameras can be used on a tripod (well, definitely all modern cameras).
A photographer uses a tripod, camera, and (some photographers) use a darkroom.

Yes they are, depending on the type of photography. A tripod provides the photographer with stability, which is especially useful for portraits and landscapes. They are also necessary for long exposure photography. However, some photographers prefer the freedom of not having a tripod.
To determine the appropriate size for a screw, you can use screw numbers which are based on the diameter and length of the screw. The higher the screw number, the larger the diameter and length of the screw. You can match the screw number to the size needed for your project by referring to a screw size chart.
To accurately determine the size of a screw, you can use a screw gauge or a caliper to measure the diameter and length of the screw. Match these measurements to a screw size chart to identify the correct size.
is a phohotographer likely to use a tripod
The recommended size for a drill bit to use with a 5.5mm screw is typically 5mm.
To determine the size of a screw, you can use a ruler or a caliper to measure the length of the screw from the tip to the head. Then, count the number of threads per inch to determine the screw's thread pitch. This information will help you identify the size of the screw.
Please hand me the tripod.
Please give me the tripod.
For a 6 screw, you should use a drill bit that is 7/64 inches in size.
Tripod is a word. Alternatively you could go for: I steadied my camera with my tripod.
Can I use your tripod for my camera
The recommended size for a drill bit to use with a 5.5 mm screw is typically 5 mm.
I can't use a tripod for a 'selfie'. The survey equipment still requires a tripod.
