[QUOTE="hark, post: 684678, member: 13196"] Within the past month, I decided to photograph a local lake but wanted to use a slow shutter speed to smooth out the water. In the back of the car, I carry an old and cheap Velbon. The problem is when I used it, it couldn't quite handle the weight of my gear. So I've been looking for an inexpensive tripod to keep in the car. I asked one of our forum members who suggested this one.
