Title: What tripod?
Post by: mr_roll on March 30, 2008, 16:23:05 PM

What tripods do you guys use? I have a little one that extends up to about waist hight but want a big one too...

Looking at something like this:

I think mine is this one (http://www.jessops.com/Store/s17695/0/Tripods/Jessops/Tripod-TP220/details.aspx?&&SortBy=UndefinedASC&IsInStockOnly=False&comp=n)
Cant really fault it in terms of price and lightweightness, it gets quite high. The only issue Ive had is that the part which the camera body rests on isnt the best.
Seems that the weight of a dSLR is enough to make the picture slightly angled. Its irritating as it means you have to faff about rotating the camera body on the
stand to get it to look level and then fiddle about with the angle of the stand itself to bring it back into alignment ><

I dont normally use a tripod, I have a professional monopod and use it as a walking stick when I take my camera out.
