PS S30 with tripod?

[Jonny]

Hi gurus,

I have an S30 and a mini tripod (the freebie one, and extremely small). I am very tempted to get a "real" tripod, but i think it would look very weird with a puny cam on long legs. Is it overkill? What tripod would be good? I am 1.8m tall.

Thanks and cheers.

Thanks for your reply. Yea guess so, although it will look weird. Any recomendation for any particular tripod?

Slik U9000? I heard it's the tallest in the Slik U-series?

Both the U8000 and the U9000 are 1.5m maximum extended height. I'm ~1.8m and it's at my neck-level.

I have the exact same dilema as you, Jonny. Till now I still haven't bought my tripod...

Thanks all for the great recomendations...gonna check it out.

Hey Darkness what DC do u own? Tot u kinda veteran in this field. So u feel weird too with such a pro tripod and a tiny cam rite?

Veteren?! I only got my cam for 2 mths, complete newbie at that!!

I owned (yeah, past tense, just sold it off today...) a S30 as well.

Looking for an upgrade, but as for price, let's just say it's a secret...
