Recommend tripod for 2100UZ

[sneezybum]

Looking for a good tripod for my 2100UZ. Price range should be around $40 - $80. No brand preferences. Preferably with 3 way pan head, suitable for my height (174cm) and must be stable enought to withstand the weight of my cam in slighty windy conditions. Thanks.

I recommend you SLIK U8000 ... cost abt $58

work well with my Pro 90 ..

Is it compact enough to be packed inside a travel luggage? The type which can hand carry into the plane?

Lightweight digicams, even big ones like c2100, dun really need a big tripod as it is a ZLR (no giant sports lens)... the recommended Slik is good... if you want to spend even less, a sturdy x-brand $25 one will also do.. just make sure it has the quick-release head as the poor location of the tripod mount of c2100 blocks the batt compartment (I'm forced to mount the tripod 'sideways' for clearance to open the batt comp)

I am 1.75m. I use Slik U6600. Just nice for my height.
It cost me S$50 at CP.

Any other suitable tripods from Velbon?? Will take the two Silk tripods into consideration.

Slik U8000 is taller and abit more sturdier than U6600.
But cost abt $10 more.

I'm also using U6600, felt that U8000 too bulky
