[delusions]

Im getting the cannon t3i for christmas, and as a begginer i dont know so much about accesories i researched alot about lenses and ect, im going with a 50mm 1.8, standard 12-55mm and a 55-250,

• Anyways i was looking into tripods, and this one has a very nice price and also i like how you can get various angles. but how do i know for sure i can mount my camera? Tripod
• I was also looking into like tulip protectors, and what i'm not sure about is what do they exactly do? do they effect the picture dramatically and what are the pro's / cons Tulip
• Also getting this backpack (free to judge on it looks perfect tho) Backpack
• And aswell im getting This Remote. Be free to judge on it aswell,

There's no way to answer your poll. We have no idea what you need, and what you intend to shoot.

i was more or less just asking about the tripod and like if it can mount the camera. and what do like protectors do?

Most of the stuff you've listed is either crap or will not help you much in photography. For me, the single best accessory is going to be a hot shoe flash.

"Protector"? You mean a lens hood?

If so, they reduce flare.

lens hood yes im sorry, so like is their any tulip lens hood you would recommend? or you don't recommend one at all?

I would stick with OEM. They're designed for a specific lens.

Flower petal type lens hoods don't work for all lenses. They are typically used on shorter focal length lenses.

If a lens does not come with a lens hood, the first choice would be the lens hood the lens maker designed for the lens, rather than a generic 3rd party lens hood.

Lens hoods not only minimize lens flare and offer a measure of impact protection to the front lens element, lens hoods also enhance image contrast.

I am not a fan of backpacks that let a lens hang down from the lens mount, particularly if the camera body has am all plastic chassis. I have seen hanging lenses strip the mount retaining screws right out of the camera body.

Also, the tripod mounting screw socket on your camera is the same standard one that is on just about every camera. So just about all tripods will have the stud to match.

I would recommend this tripod,

Amazon.com: Sunpak 620-620-CPG Tripod: Camera & Photot's got a ballhead so you'll have that range of movement + it's got a pistol grip. The way it works is you just pull the trigger and the head rotates freely, release the trigger and it locks. To me that's much faster than turning a knob.
