Hahnel triad 30 £36
Hama traveller compact pro £36
Redsnapper 283 & RSH-61 Ball Head £80

Need a new tripod but its not something I intend to use much but also want decent quality, obviously not pro quality.
Out of the ones above is the Redsnapper really worth double the price of the other 2? Does anyone have either of the other 2 tripods (Hahnel or Hama)
3 things for me to consider are:
light
cheap
sturdy
Unfortunately I do realize I may have to settle for a combination of only 2 out of 3 of this criteria. Anyone got any advice please?
My kit at the moment (I will be expanding as and when the funds and the boss allows) is a gripped Nikon D7000 and the heaviest lens I have is Nikon 70-300mm VR. with a flash attached it should be a maximum of 2.5Kg
Thanks
 
I bought a Hama traveller compact pro from Asda/Tesco Direct (one or the other), of all places, when they were on special for £30 inc. postage

For the money I think they are good value. It does everything I want it to and more.

I use it on a regular basis, the only thing I didn't get on with was the ball head, which was a shame. I think that's just me and ball heads in general

I kept my eye on the sales section and a Redsnapper RSH-24 3 way panning head came up for sale. I bought it for £13 posted, so for under £45 I had a tripod I am very happy with :)
