Tripod Help!

May 22nd, 2011
Hi All,

I've recently misplaced my very old Tripod and am looking to into getting a new one.

Has anyone got any recommendations? I don't want to spend an arm and a leg on a new one.

My camera is a Canon 1000D. Currently my longest lens is 75-300 mm.

Any advice is greatly appreciated

:)

I've just picked up a camlink professional series tripod for £40. Seems really well made and sturdy. Should have been nearly £80, so I got lucky.

I thought I was going to regret buying the heavier Manfrotto 190xprob, but honestly have no complaints. I use the 498rc4 ball head, which manages my D90 with 300mm just fine. In my opinion, this setup was money well spent.

I have the manfrotto 055XPROB and I love it. Made my old tripod feel like a kid's toy. I just wish I would have bought it sooner.

@wahyusp thanks for the link

@wormentude thanks Rachel, I'll take a look into that! Sounds like you got a bargain!

@jcrowley40 @marubozo thank you both for your recommendation and your experience with Manfrotto tripods. I have had a look at them, but am slightly overwhelmed with all the different models etc! Thanks for giving me the model numbers I'll take a peak!
