tripods...our three legged friends

[mastertrinity]

hi, im on quite a strict budget of £70 (no more, seriously) and am after a decent budget tripod, it will mainly be for portraiture indoors when lighting could be low etc, and for some abstract photography (eg. water droplets).

it doesnt have to be rock steady and the heaviest camera/lens combo i have is a a300 and 55-200mm which weighs less than 1kg.

one note however is that it cant be a redsnapper and thats because im only 16 and dont do all this BT fund stuff yada yada, so it will have to be a branded name.

cheers.

i know you said £70... technically its lower, this one is £69 but then there is delivery so it goes a bit over, only a tiny bit though, if not just look through the rest and see what is the best selling for under £70 and holds the weight you need it to, i bought a manfrotto one for about £80, mine even came with a bag too.

ahh yes i noticed these, its manfrotto's new MY consumer range. when i go focus next week i'll have a look for them because this should do what i want.

i think i would rather trust my gear on a proper brand name

Sorry- you don't have a bank account? Why not give your parents the money and get them to order it? Redsnapper has to be the best choice for this kinda money.

My poundland mini tripod supports camera, and the 70-200, and flash.

Save yourself £69

Although for the brief laugh.. i dont think it was worth the pound someone spent on me..

Snapper.

Seriously, not sure about your 'dont do BT fund stuff' comment. But for £70 you can get a RS283 and 528 3-way panning head for £69.99. I have both and it is superb. And you get a 10% discount as you're a TP member.

you can't get better value for money
