Tripod Shopping

[CrazyMike]

Hey,

So I am tripod shopping. I am looking for a tripod for my Cannon T3. Looking for something light weight, preferably compact when folded, structurally decent with quick adjusts (not the turn ones, the tab ones, but if you don't approve please give an explanation). I am not entirely sure on budget, cause i have no idea what is a decent price to spend on a tripod.

Need more info? Just ask ....

thanks for your shopping searches

For $200, you can get a pretty nice tripod setup. You can get a ball joint head and a mannafroto tripod, which is the cheapest good brand i would get. For the tripod: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000N7VPRW/ref=mw_dp_mpd?pd=1 and for the head:

Here's mine http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hahnel-Tria...EC1S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1362302440&sr=8-1

I quite like it. It seems quite strong, it's small when folded, it's fairly lightweight, it even comes with it's own carry case.

You could go crazy and spend hundreds on a tripod but my 35 quid tripod seems pretty decent. Not sure if you can buy those Hahnel tripods in Canada though... I had a quick look on Amazon.ca and couldn't find anything.
