Have a look here, think they still do discount for TP members if you email them.
 
Redsnapper here too, if your on a budget. I have just done a review on here for the one I bought. I used a 10% discount code (not sure if I can post on here)

So for these days redsnappers is one of the best in business ?
 
Redsnapper make a range of tripods, monopods and heads - they are probably the cheapest of the 'decent quality' manufacturers. A good choice if you are unsure how much you will use the tripod, or have a limitied budget. I have a Redsnapper monopod, and it's great.

Manfrotto is another good make - they have a much wider range than Redsnapper, but their higher end kit is priced accordingly.

(I have a Manfrotto 190 XProbB - a good, entry level aluminium tripod, but will be getting a 055 CXPro3 to replace it soon as I want something bigger & better - this is an 'intermediate / pro' level carbon fibre tripod)

Top end is things like Gitzo tripods - very good, but you need deep pockets to afford them!

There are a number of other brands at price points inbetween.

The biggest problem with tripods is that you want somethign as light as possible to carry around, but as tall, adaptable and stable as possible when taking the shots - which means heavy!
Carbon fibre can be used to maintain stability with reduced weight, but costs a lot more.

Then you have to decide between 3-way Pan & tilt head, geards heads (a special version of the 3-way head) or ball heads - and there is a vast choice of 3 way & ball heads once you decide which type you prefer.

Have a look used, I've just picked up a second hand tripod from mifsuds. It has a few tiny marks but very good considering its a saving of 30-40%.

Hi Paul, I've not been measured lately, but I used to be 6ft. Maybe have shrunk a tad as I've got older, but not much!
I used it once for Aviation. I now tend to handhold all of the time. It gets too busy trying to keep up with them overhead.:nuts:

Kev.
