Tripod for £60-80'ish?

[shauncr91]

Hi,

What tripod would people recommend for around £60-80'ish? And what kind of things should I look for in whatever I choose?
It's my first proper tripod and am hopefully going to be getting it today so don't want to pick up a crap one

Thanks
Shaun

At this price Red Snapper is probably your best bet, generaly the cheapest thing people consider to be a proper tripod.

Definitely look at Red Snapper at this price.

One thing I will mention is be wary of the RSH-24 head, mine has a slight habit of coming loose, plus something like the RSH-528 is a lot easier to get how you'd like, especially when portrait orientation is being used.

Other than that, very solid for the price

Well my budget magically changed in store and I ended up with this:

Quick play around with it now and it's awesome
