Terms of Service – TripodIQ

Introduction

Welcome to TripodIQ (“we,” “our,” or “us”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of our website at legview.com and all associated calculators, guides, and services (collectively, the “Service”).

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of them, please do not use the Service.

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using TripodIQ, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.

We may update these Terms at any time. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

Educational Estimates — Verify Before You Rely

TripodIQ’s calculators apply standard physics and photography formulas to the values you enter and round results for readability, so a result depends entirely on your input and on the assumptions of a deliberately simple model. Nothing on the Service is a manufacturer specification, an engineering certification, or professional advice. Before you load a tripod or head near its rated limit, rely on a stability estimate near a ledge or on uneven ground, or make a purchase decision based on a calculator, confirm the figures that matter against the manufacturer’s own documentation and your own good judgment.

Description of Service

TripodIQ provides free, browser-based calculators and educational resources, including:

A tripod load-capacity checker that derates for center-column extension and wind
A tripod height calculator based on your height and camera stack height
A stability calculator estimating the critical tipping angle from base radius and CG height
A panorama overlap calculator for shot count and rotation step
A timelapse interval calculator relating shoot duration, video length, and frame rate
A ballhead torque guide estimating required holding torque from weight and lever arm
Guides, explainers, and reference content on tripods and camera-support gear

All tools are provided free of charge. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time.

Your Responsibilities

When using the Service, you agree to:

Use the tools in good faith for planning, learning, or checking your own gear setup
Enter values in the correct units and check that your inputs describe a realistic setup
Not disrupt, overload, or attempt to compromise the website
Respect intellectual property rights

You are responsible for exercising your own judgment and for confirming important results before relying on them, especially where equipment safety or an expensive purchase is involved.

Accuracy and Disclaimers

While we aim for correct formulas, we cannot guarantee that every calculation is error-free or suited to your circumstances. Results are estimates based on standard methods and the figures you provide, and are rounded for display. TripodIQ makes no warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

Intellectual Property

All content on this website — text, graphics, logos, tools, calculators, and software — is the property of TripodIQ or its content suppliers and is protected by applicable copyright and other laws. You may use the tools for personal and educational purposes; you may not copy, resell, or reverse engineer them, or remove proprietary notices.

Limitation of Liability

In no event shall TripodIQ or its suppliers be liable for any damages (including, without limitation, damaged equipment, a ruined shoot, or other losses) arising out of your use of, or inability to use, the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Third-Party Links and Ads

The Service may link to third-party websites and displays third-party advertisements. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, and inclusion of a link or ad is not an endorsement. Your use of any third-party site is at your own risk.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, and you submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located there.
