[QUOTE="TedG954, post: 60174, member: 9701"] I understand this isn't very helpful for someone that needed a [I]"tripod quick"[/I], but it may be helpful to someone in the market at this time. I decided to upgrade my cheapo Albinar tripod. While it served its purpose, I decided I wanted some perks like a crank, leveling bubblers, and all metal construction. I researched and found that the Induro and Manfrotto were excellent choices, but their pricing wasn't to my liking. I found the [B][pro]master[/B] brand to be an attractive alternative. Deciding to spend my money locally (and the prices were no better on-line), I went to my local [pro]master-stocking camera store. Fortunately, the store had almost the entire line from $40 to $300+. As the salesman explained the various features and attributes, I settled on the 7100 model. It fit all of my personal requirements and it is tall enough that I don't have to bend over to use the camera's viewfinder. At $59, I believe the 7100 is a very good value for the hobbiest, and time will tell. If it isn't what I believe it to be, Induro will be my next (final?) choice. Here are the 7100 specs.... [B][promaster] 7100 Tripod[/B] Features With a maximum height of 61", the PROMASTER 7100 tripod is the ideal choice for a basic all around tripod. It features a 3-way all metal pan head with a quick release platform. The 3-section rhombic legs are center braced and have spiked feet which allow for a sturdy balance on any surface. Its geared center column allows for easy height adjustment. A bubble level is mounted on the tripod body as well as on the head for precise positioning. [B]Specifications[/B] • Maximum Working Height: 61" • Minimum Working Height: 24" • Maximum Load: 11 lbs. / 5 kg • Folded Height: 25" • Leg Diameter: 23mm • Weight: 3 lbs. 7 oz. This is my 7100...
