tripod? lol it was on a stool, which was balenced by jamming a cd case underneath it. If you want a real tripod, feel free to ship me one. My recording gear was all paid for from my own pocket. As for video quality, take it or leave it. I am a gamer that makes vids when I'm bored. Making videos is fun, but editing is not fun, I find it boring and I only have so much free time. And I will never write a script, I just can't read from one and feel natural. Sure I may repeat some stuff, and go off on tangents, but that's just my personality. Improv is just how I roll, there are plenty of perfectly edited "professional youtube reviewers" already. I just like sharing stuff most people haven't seen before.
