Tripods?

[rob13]

I need to get myself a new tripod. The tripod I have now (an old Hama) doesnt quite sit level, and is way off on portrait. With a budget of say £70, what would be recommended?

Have a peek at the redsnappers here and grab a discount, but failing that for £70 a nice velbon

I have owned a few to say the least, and for its outright niceness it has to be the Velbon, its not quite as heavy duty as a Red but lighter and a bit more versatile but the Red is pure nice but not light or small enough imho

Might be worth a look:

I use the velbon sherpa, and its fine if a tad heavy.

Cant go wrong with the Redsnapper combo for that kinda price in my opinion, I've got one and I think it's fantastic and you get a really nice tripod case with shoulder strap included.

Having looked at Manfrotto and Redsnapper, the RS wins for me. I'll be looking to order one in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for the heads up.

Just had a look at the redsnapper myself, looks like a cracking tripod to replace my cheapo 25 quid jobbie!

sorry to hijack but which out of the redsnapper range is most suitable for landscape photography?

If you're yomping up mountains, then the carbon one. If you're carrying it lashed to a rucsack the 4 section ones are a bit shorter when packed than the 3 section, and therefore less unweildy.

Thankyou
