Tripod for E500

Looking for a Tripod for E500.

Will like to know what type of tripod most of the E500 users are using.

Well, i use the tripod given along with the camera. Maybe you should state what lense you plan to use along with your camera to give the pros a better idea of what to recomend.

Currently using E500 with 14-55mm & FL36.

If got enough $$ will consider to get 50-200mm.
Got a Slik Sprint Pro, but found not very stable.

The tripod is really light and good for travelling. No regrets.

am using Slik ABLE 300x that can support 5kg weight. More stable and solid than the Pro.
Bought from CP last Sunday for $130 excluding bag and strap.
The Pro is on promotion selling at $125 and comes with free strap minus bag.
I found the legs quite flimsy. It supports max 3 kg

I am using Slik Pro 500DX. For me, I find it stable and solidly builded.
