| I get ya, Heather.
Your hubby can be assured that although technology keeps advancing at an exponential rate, simple essentials like a tripod don't really go out of fashion or get as considered fads. And there's not much to add to a tripod - neither is there such a thing as TBA - tripod buying addiction (is there?!?).
You want a light yet sturdy tripod - getting one that does the job for you will be an investment for as long as it functions well for you. Saving up for it is good, and when you get it you'll find it invaluable for a long time. The Manfrotto can either be sold or used for a second setup. |
