Recommend tripod <$50

darkness · 26th August 2002

Can someone recommend me a simple tripod that is <$50? I don't need branded stuff or heavy base or whatever. Just a simple one suitable for my Canon Powershot S30. Quick release and portability is of top priority.

(Must not be too big lah)

Actually bought a Nikon tripod but returned it becoz the bracket is slanted. Any other recommendations?

I find that the U6600 is still too big for my liking. I need something that can fit into my bag easier, probably around the region of 40cm when folded (guess I need a 4 section tripod to make it taller when extended). Is there any good recommendations in this range?
