What type of tripod to get
Sep 22, 2012 01:05:04 #
I have a manfretto mono pod and it is heavey duty but I would like something that extends the same but is shorter when not in use.

Costco has a carbon fiber with ball head for $99 that includes free shipping. A friend of mine just got one yesterday and he said 'no plastic' and the legs tighten like the Gitzo carbon fiber tripods. It will work well with a body and lens as heavy as the Canon 24-70mm f2.8

That looks good. I'm glad we don't have a Costco nearby. :D

Hot dogs??? Noooooooo don't do it!!! Step away from the hot dogs Newfie!!! They are the worst!!![/quote]
Hi Fran if I were a young woman and had a figure like your's I to would stay away from the dogs at Costco. Like your Avatar! Back to the tripod. Dolica's are very well made I have one and love it very much. Price is also a good bet too.

A video head is useless for general photography as it only allows for horizontal shots, not vertical/portrait.
A ball head is useless for video. The best pan and tilt head is what you want. Read my last for instructions on panning with telephoto or video.
The "Benbo" or "Uni-lock" ttripods are by far the most versatile and sturdy but are not the lightest. I have used them in the studio and for nature/wildlife and would not change.
