Different Types of Tripods
There are a couple of different types of tripods. The cheapest one costing less than 100 US dollars is very basic and quite small. It has an attached head and rubber feet. It allows the camera to tilt 90 degrees. Sometimes there's a pin included that is used to stabilize the camera.
The more expensive tripods are bigger and stronger and often come with more features. There are expensive carbon fiber tripods that are used when the tripod needs to be lightweight during filming. One of the features which the more expensive tripods carries is that it's got a reversible center post to allow the person filming to move the camera between the legs of the tripod or move it to near the bottom to get a low angle shot.
The Head
The head attaches to the camera. There are two different heads;
A ball head is like a ball and socket joint and allows the camera to move in almost any different directions.
The pan-tilt head is used almost the same way but it has two parts to it. One allows the camera to tilt up and down without affecting the other part that controls the sideways movement of the camera.

Construction & Usage
Modern tripods are made out of aluminium, though the legs are made out of wood. It has several joints to allow the camera to move in different directions, yet still standing in one spot and giving a smooth and stable effect. It's very often used to set the environment where the movie or video is being filmed. Tripods have the disadvantage of being heavy and bulky, but they are one of the most popular pieces of equipment in the filming business.
Tripod Filming
Tripods are used to create a steadier and smoother picture during filming. Also, if you want to be included in your own home-made video a tripod is the best thing to use as it can stand on its own and you can move freely while yourself and others. A tripod is also used for precise framing of an object or image.
