All all, iam after a fairly basic tripod to use with my 400D, it will be my first one so iam not after anything to flash. Budget is around 20-30ish.

Can anyone recommend one?
 
Been offered the Kamerstativ for £20, with a case. Anyone know anything about it? Cant see much on google.

The seller says 'It's called a "Kamerstativ" it's got 3 way fluid head with quick release plate, e sectioned quick release lets and radial leg bracing, aluminium legs dia 22mm, closed length 57cm, fully extended length 149cm, holds up to 2kgs, weight 1150g. It is fairly basic but it did me fine for a good while until I decided I wanted something a bit more heavy duty, but for that you generally have to fork out over 100quid. The Jessops case costs, from memory, around 15-16 quid on its own. Both tripod and case are in pretty much mint condition.'

I've got a Hama Star 63 which can be had for £10 from a competitor and I can't fault it (I've not known anything different). What is it all these more expensive tripods do that mine doesn't!
The head seems solid and won't budge once I've tightened unless I put a lot more force than any camera would on it, full adjustable legs, spirit level and it seems sturdy enough. The position of the head handle isn't great, but I could see no reason to spend more money. Have I missed something? :p

Think iam going to go with the Hama Star 63. Its £15 with P&P.

I take it, it will be fine for my 400d? Ive only got the stock lens but will hopefully get another one soon, and hope to use this tripod with it aswell.
