[QUOTE="Ruidoso Bill, post: 43860, member: 753"] The big mistake for first tripod purchase is buying a cheap one, you know the $39 model that looks good but is never quite tall or sturdy enough. Many including myself made this mistake, not once but several times. If you want to take it on a hike the carbon fiber ones are pretty nice and light and expensive, if more for stationary use check ebay and look for a good manfrotto, I picked mine up for around $200 (probably a $500 tripod new). I love the stability and since I'm over 6' the hieght is great. [/QUOTE]
