Help on buying tripod.

sohotrightnow

Ok, well I decided recently to get a new tripod. And I don't have much to spend, so I was wondering if I could get some suggestions on some tripods. I am looking for a price range of around $100 no higher than $175, And I own a Nikon D70. Any suggestions? :thumb

I'll start with the obligatory link: http://www.bythom.com/support.htm After reading that, review your current tripod budget.

FYI, after going through the same thing myself, my budget ended up much higher than originally anticipated. However, I'm extremely happy with the overall setup. That being a Giottos MT-7261 legset with a RRS BH-40LRII on top. Add in the various QR plates on the gear to attach to the head and I'm closer to Thom's $1000 than originally intended, but it was worth the investment; the gear plain works and will last forever.
