Good Tripods?
UltraViolet
02-09-2009
I have a Nikon D70, and was wondering if people could recommend good tripods for this weight camera. I was looking at one for £24 from Argos but some of the reviews said it's not too good for cameras this weight...

I don't want to spend too much on a tripod, I don't want a gadget filled tripod, just one good enough to hold the camera safe and can pan all over smoothly.

I use to have one that use to be my Grandpas, a metal one, but I had to get rid of it due to rust and broken parts.

Thank you.

Yes but I defered replying as your budget seemed a bit light for a good quality tripod.

Try 2nd hand, or car boot sale.

I have had cheap tripods in the past and I have been ultimately disapointed.

I bit the bullet in the end and bought a basic Manfrotto

I'd still like recommendations, I didn't put an actual limit. I meant not an expensive one due to all the mod cons that I'm not bothered about. Just a simple good tripod. I'll look into that make you mentioned.

My Manfrotto is a 055 , I think it has been superceeded now, and the head is a 141RC also Manfrotto.

I had a look and for about £60 you can get some basic tripods, they won't have the weight and stability of a pro make like Manfrotto or Gitzo, but they will be better than most no-name types.

Have a look at Warehouseexpress website. Some Giottos look okay and there are some reviews on there.
