|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Can anyone recoomend a fairly inexpensive but good tripod? Armando Solares, Photographer Englewood | FL | USA | Posted: 12:18 AM on 07.09.09 ->> I am in the market for a good, but fairly inexpensive tripod. I would like it to be small, lightweight, and it has to have the ability to get really low to the ground? Any tripods you may recommend? thanks, Armando  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

A cheap, small and lightweight tripod will not be the steady camera holder that you want. Save up and buy a good one. You won't regret it. Tim  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I'm using a Magic Ball head on the travel tripod, and a Manfrotto 322RC2 Grip Action Head on the studio one.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I just want something to travel with, that is again fairly inexpensive, but is sturdy, lightweight and not of cheap or bad quality. The problem I'm having is that there are no good camera stores anywhere near where I live. So I can't touch, or inspect them, that is why I'm asking for suggestions. thanks, I'll look into the Giottos and the Bogens  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

It is pretty sturdy and relatively cheep, however it is not exactly the lightest setup to use.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
