Tripod help
Mar 6, 2015 07:39:01 #
Hi All, I'm looking to replace my old and tired tripod, not sure what to get. I shoot landscapes, harness racing and do video interviews occasionally. Looking for a ligh weight, sturdy reasonably priced tripod in the $200 range if there is such a thing. Thanks in advance...

Advise you to get one with three foldy legs and a screw thing at the top.

What camera and what is the longest lens you will be working with? Asking for a tripod suggestion without this basic information is not going to result in anything meaningful at best, and at it's worse, you will get bad recommendations that will waste your time and money.

Thanks for the help here. My camera is a Canon Rebel T5I and longest lens is Canon EF 100-400 F 4. I am using a tripod that's very outdated and really haven't looked into a new one. I appreciate any help so at least have a start in the right direction.

This one works quite well for me, and is indeed in your price range. Good luck.

I have a couple of big, discontinued Vanguard Trackers - nice and sturdy. I see this one has an optional baby seat. :D
