Okay, I'm in the market for a tripod. Eventually I'll get a "nice" one (like spending over $200), but currently my money is going towards new lenses. So, basically I need something that will offer best bang-for-buck and will allow me to analyze my specific tripod needs, that way when I do get a nice tripod it will match exactly what I need it for. So...
I need something that:
1. does macro
2. will hold my K7 and the DA* 50-130mm
3. easy to carry (in other words, not a beast that weights 10lbs!)
4. is under $90
To you guys who know, is there anything that even comes close to my specs considering the price? Obviously, I don't expect it to be perfect, but I don't want to end up with something that won't even hold my camera, or that falls over and busts my equipment!
I've looked at the Proline $40 one on Amazon, but I'm not entirely convinced that it's the best.
Let me know your thoughts...
