New Tripod Options

[ishamy]

Hi all, I'm looking to buy a new tripod in the next few days. I'm not so clued up at all, I did have a Camlink t2500 £30 thing from my local place, it was ok... for starters but now I'm doing a lot more night stuff so need something more suitable.

I'm not wanting to spend more than £80 as I can't break the back just now with a wee one on the way. I have seen a nice looking Red Snapper setup on their site, RS-283 & RSH-528 Head for £75. Is this any good, looks way better than what I had.

What other options are there for this price range?

Thanks

Will have to check that out, in a strange way though I think I would rather a heavier tripod, keep everything on the ground... its a bit windy at times up here

Hi not at all, we are all here for learning! They are really important depending on what you plan to shoot, I do quite a bit of night time shooting = 4min exposures so you need something rock solid!

So I had a cheap £30 thing that was overpriced at that which was ok for learning the basics etc but now I need something more than that.
