How well the tripod worked!

At last I bought a tripod for my camera last week! 
I have taken pictures with a telephoto lens but the pictures have been bad because of camera shake. I knew it would be better to use a tripod, but I don’t like carrying one because they're pretty heavy and annoying to use. I have to lengthen three pods and fix them. It's a real pain in the neck! So I bought a monopod instead. When I use it, I need to lengthen just one pod, it’s easy. However, the monopod was not enough stable. If I take moving things, it's no problem, but it’s not suitable for taking static things or a distant view. In the end, I bought a tripod. It was a little expensive… 
Yesterday, I wanted to use the tripod, so went to take a night view with my husband. We took pictures of Tokyo Tower, some downtown streets and a night view of skyscrapers. I was deeply moved by the power of the tripod. The pictures were in focus, even though it was at night and it was so far away. How wonderful! Carrying the tripod will not bother me at all.
