[QUOTE="Mycenius, post: 170931, member: 14714"] If you buy a cheap tripod you will only regret it later then buy a less cheap one 6 months later and regret that then maybe buy a good one a year after that and have spent 150%+ the cost of the good one to start with! :) Try and buy the best one you can stretch your budget to... That pretty much means things like a Gitzo (get a '3' series, not a 1 or 2), a Manfotto, or 1 or 2 others. Majority of tripods (especially light ones) are flimsy, contribute jitter, and not very good. Anything with bracing between the legs is a sure sign its substandard... Don't get anything that relies on a centre pole/extension (if you can) as these are generally useless anyway, making your camera unstable, difficult to keep level, etc... Just my 2c worth! :) [I]Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk[/I] [/QUOTE]
