I'm after a new tripod, something light but strong and saw this

Need to keep the cost down as its a birthday present and I don't deserve any more spent on me than about £50 - £60 :D

Anyone got one? General thoughts about Camlink stuff?

Cheers

Andy

I've got a Camlink tripod and I'm happy with it. I've changed to a manfrotto ball head. It's sturdy enough and simple enough to use. I've found it OK height wise, both minimum and maximum.
