Tripod Recommendations

Does anyone have any recommendations for a tripod?

Anything made by Bogan/Manfrotto, or Gitzo.
Things to consider:
Height you want, type of tripod head (ball, pat tilt, etc), type of material it's made of, etc.

What do you plan on using it for? What type of setting?

Try using the search feature or take a look through the sticky above.
This subject has been covered fairly completely in those threads and there are
plenty of great recommendations available.

Read this, get the tripod of your dreams, and save $700 in the process. http://www.bythom.com/support.htm

Thanks,

No worries. Just don't want you to miss all that goodness in the threads.

Tripod
I just bought a Gitzo "Mountaineer" tripod with a Manfrotto quick release ball-head. It's pretty strong, yet not too heavy and has so many angles you can position it and I love the ball head. Downside, it really hits the pocketbook....I paid $650 CDN plus taxes, but you get what you pay for.
