Tripod

A conceptual tool representing the Camera's ability to record stationary evidence.

In the world of Phasmophobia, a dedicated Tripod item does not currently exist within the official equipment shop or inventory system. While players often colloquially refer to setting down their Digital Camera as 'using a tripod,' this action is simply a function of the Camera tool itself rather than a separate piece of gear. This entry serves to clarify that functionality and document how stationary surveillance is achieved in-game without a specific accessory.

Lore & Background

Community discussions frequently highlight a desire for a Tripod accessory to allow more stable camera angles or higher placement options. However, current updates have prioritized new ghost types and evidence mechanics over adding mounting hardware. Until an official update introduces such gear, the Camera remains the sole method for stationary visual recording.

In Their Own Story

The flashlight beam cuts through the dust motes dancing in the hallway air. I kneel on the cold floorboards, my hands trembling slightly as I adjust the lens of the camera. There is no tripod to steady it here, only a small wooden crate from the supply closet. I set the device down, hoping it won't slide off when the ghost passes through. The screen flickers to life, capturing the darkness ahead. If something moves in that frame, I'll know. Until then, I watch the battery drain.

Reader's Guide

Since a Tripod is not an item, players utilize the Digital Camera for stationary surveillance. Place the camera on any flat surface like a table or shelf. The camera consumes battery power while recording video. Players must monitor their battery levels closely to ensure footage isn't lost mid-investigation. There are no specific upgrades for a Tripod since it does not exist, but upgrading Camera quality improves image clarity and night vision capabilities. Optimal usage involves placing cameras in high-traffic areas like hallways or the ghost room. Ensure the lens is unobstructed to capture Ghost Orbs or physical movement.
