Phasmophobia: How to Put the Camera on the Tripod

In Phasmophobia, the Video Camera is used to detect Ghost Orbs. After propping the device on a Tripod, you can return to your van to monitor the recorded area, making it the perfect way to catch spirits in the act. Placing the Camera on the Tripod isn’t too much trouble.

How to Get a Video Camera and Tripod

The Video Camera is available in the shop for $50. Along with detecting Ghost Orbs, the item can also observe any Ghost Interaction if it’s facing the right direction. During a Ghost Hunt, the Video Camera will malfunction, something common among all electronic equipment in the game.

It’s possible to utilize up to six Video Cameras per job.

In order to survey particular areas of the house from a safe distance, you’ll need to set your Video Camera on a Tripod. These are available from the shop for $25, and you can carry up to five Tripods per job.

Once you’ve placed your Video Camera on a Tripod, you and your friends can watch the live feed from the van.
