[QUOTE="N_Addy, post: 81531, member: 9985"] Tripod shopping is confusing, huh? So many choices. Manfrotto makes good tripods but there are many other fine choices for the money. You said you were looking for a "decent" tripod so I would ask, what is your budget? Get the best you can afford. Buying the right tripod will mean a one-time purchase that will last a lifetime. Buying the wrong tripod means you'll lose closet space. One example of the wrong tripod would be settling for a 5'4" tripod when you are 6'. Just two pieces of advice: First read this.

And... if they don't carry it, you don't want it. [URL="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Tripods-Support/ci/8159/N/4294204162"]Photo Camera Tripods | B&H Photo Video[/URL] [/QUOTE]
