Tripod Recommendations?

[KeriAnn]

Seen as my tripod broke (yes. broke. I couldn't believe it either. It nearly killed my camera in the process *ears fume*) Can anyone recommend to me an excellent tripod? What do each of you have?

Thanks!

For me theres two directions for tripods. big expensive and superby able, or little and lightweight but perfectly satisfactory for most applications.

I use a Velbon lightweight, ( ULTRA-LUXi-F) its. got a nice friendly swivle head on, and packs into its own small soft bag with strap (aprox 1.5" x 5 inch) ... I can carry it all day no prob.

Really liking the look of the Velbon Sherpa 600R.
Should I go for it?

i have a manfrotto 190XPROB with the 804RC2 head plus a jessops TP323,which i bought before the manfrotto.for the extra dosh the manfrotto cost,it's ten times the tripod than the jessops one and i wish i'd got it first off.

my advice would be get the best you can afford as it will last a lifetime..:rules:
