Hi guys,

Should be getting a tripod next week
Budget is relatively low, doing part-time work only
Below $200
Any decent recommendations that I can get at CP?
Thanks in advance for replies!
Cam is H2, btw - Sony

slik sprint pro is able to support, but if you are looking for a steadier leg, maybe the slik 330dx or 340dx would fit the bill. they are all considered very light when you compared to manfrotto 190 series

iirc $80+ for the sprint pro and 120-130 for 330/340dx. :thumbsup:. im using the 330dx, no problem support d50+sb600+80-200 f2.8 with the default pan-tilt head

Check out the Benro Tripods offered at CS.com. Here is the link - http://forums.clubsnap.org/showthread.php?t=201502

200SGD is reasonable budget for a tripod.

 

[zoossh]

the common ones of fair to good quality at various price range are manfrotto, gitzo, feisol, giottos, slik, PPCP and velbron.

ohh, i also liked the SLIK Sprint Pro GM due to its small size which makes it easier to lug around ^^

 

[dominator]

i like the SLIK sprint pro GM for travelling.... light and very versatile

Yes right. I am using it too but with a better ball head.

 

[night86mare]

k k , say if i'm mostly taking landscapes
ie. not people
just things
would i really need a ball head
so far sprint pro sounds good, hrmph

sprint pro come with a ballhead, but it get wear out pretty easily especially on heavier cam.
if you intend to upgrade, maybe the 330/340dx will be a better option. but there is still a limit to the "upgrade", it can't hold those super heavy lens.

 

[night86mare]

hrmph, not going to get dslr anytime soon
thoguht about it carefully
right now no way to have money to support, still studying
H2 isn't that heavy for a cam, right> =D

Have bought my stuff from eugenep on several occasions and I went away with :thumbsup: impressions everytime.

Pushing your budget now better then having to change/upgrade later. Buy a good set of legs and you'll be set for a long long time!

Hee hee, actually I went back to see just..
Price is actually ok for me
But then ar, I don't know much about tripods
Which is why I wanted to go to shop and get a nice uncle to explain to me =D

If my tripod is primarily used for say, landscape photography
a)would i really need a ball head, i think pan tilt head would do, but i don't really know whether eugenep is selling that
b)and which setup would be best, don't want something too heavy, no point buy already muscle pain don't use =D
