B&S tread, some "new" items also for sale, normally it is the freebies that were given away with the camera

Thanks for the replies. I'm looking more for places to find new tripods, though I still welcome offers to sell since I've not asked my friend if she mind getting a 2nd-hand one.

I don't think he is trying to be funny ..... granting this drprofjung or whatever he is called offered $78.90 for a Sigma 12-24 ...... Just think if Sigma 12-24 cost just $78.90, then his tripod should cost less then $3.38 .....

Thus somehow I find clicknik has overbid ..... he should ask this drprofjung or whatever to pay him for the transport to get rid of his tripod.

Try Carrefour... Cheap and good tripods. Bought a big and rather sturdy one for $39.90...

Went to take a look just now. It's the typical compact camera tripod. Can carry up to 1.2kg.

It will help if you can state what is the weight of the camera you intend to mount on it. A Digital Compact Camera or a dSLR with Heavy Lens?
