These are some of the accessories and triggers I use when I need to shoot timelapses and astro.
ProMediagear TR424L Pro-Stix - Carbon Fiber
- 
      
        
          
        
      
      
The sturdiest tripod I have used and the best one time investment that keeps returning.

As always I turn to Bryan Carnathan.
 
Manfrotto MT055XPRO3 Aluminium 3-Section Tripod
- 
      
        
          
        
      
      
My first proper tripod which unfortunately wasn’t as reliable as I thought it would be. I still have it and use it for emergencies.

Read about it on their website.
 
Induro Series 3 Baby Grand Tripod - Carbon Fiber
- 
      
        
          
        
      
      
Got to be close to the ground and for times when I am in a public place and can’t really have a massive set of legs people trip all over every 10 mins. Not to mention the amount of load this too can carry.

Novo Explora MP20 Carbon Fiber Monopod
- 
      
        
          
        
      
      
My favourite monopod - light as a feather and sturdy as a rock.

I found a good review here.
 
Manfrotto 680B Aluminum Monopod
- 
      
        
          
        
      
      
Again a first purchase but incidentally this has lasted a very very very long time through a lot of travel especially in the mountains of Bhutan.

Bryan Carnathan has a good review.
 
SwitchPod Handheld Mini Tripod
- 
      
        
          
        
      
      
The best minimal handheld tripod. I use it with my GoPros or with the Zoom mics.

A good review.
 
NatureScapes Skimmer Ground Pod II
- 
      
        
          
        
      
      
The best accessory for beautiful, ground-level photos of birds and other wildlife.
 - 
      
        
      
      
Two great reviews here & here.
