If I get a tripod I'll be new to the whole notion so don't want to get lost before I start on the road but your comments and advice appreciated and it'll be archived. I really want to do landscapes so I thought a tripod might help? I need to look into long exposures and effects perhaps.
i have that combo works great good weight and flexible enough for low work toI've seen a manfrotto 190xprob and 804RC2 head ( suitable for landscapes and general use? ) for a reasonable price.
I've no idea on filters.Must look into.
Thanks for your replies. Much appreciated.
Red10 is the discount codeRed Snapper used to do a discount for TP members, others will know if it is still available.
No one has mentioned these yet, but have a look at Red Snapper
if you get a tripod, make sure its a decent one - cheap and flimsy is worse than useless. Ideally get a good brand like manfroto, or benbo etc - if you have to go budget, red snapper are okay. ( I'm using a Manfrotto 055 with a 222 joystick head. But for landscapes the 322 might be preferable )
FWIW I've had a Velbon Sherpa 600R for a while now and it's been pretty good. Not as heavy as a Manfrotto 055, but still quite stable. I also recently (like yesterday) got a cheap timer/remote from Amazon. I think it was about £10. Works a treat..
