Where to buy a cheap tripod

[flowerpot]

hmm... actually i also looking for a cheap tripod, 1 where i can trash it without heart pain, spend so much on a good tripod, go beach but dun want to touch sea water and sand, go shoot macro dun want to touch mud...

but i think at least get 1 with good enough support... cheap tripod can be found everywhere as long as it fits the budget and serve the purpose...

punishment wise, can take a lot. 2 years of torture, still hasn't died on me. :thumbsup:

I just bought a Benro A300EX tripod with BH0 ball head there today. $168, no bargaining allowed. Magnesium alloy, quite light. Tripod seems cheap and good for the money. Not going to use a 300mm f2.8 on it, just my K-x and kit lens and so will not be a problem.

Good, no cheap lah.

is it, my tripod sub $100 when i bought it, it has been in many seas, it is badly scratched, it is still not wobbling.

i rather buy a cheaper tripod and abuse it to get my pictures, than to buy an expensive tripod to worship at home and then sayang it everytime. :bsmilie:

by the way, there are loads of big heavy tripods that are relatively cheap and good, but the sacrifice is weight, around 3 kg combination.

More choice means more temptation to upgrade and pay more...
