marsbeetle Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Thanks.. I have found with these kind of things, you get what you pay for.. Cheaper ones just suck!!!!! Yip, don't buy the cheapest, it doesn't pay. For a good solid and not too expensive tripod I highly recommend the Manfrotto 055XPROB http://www.ormsdirect.co.za/manfrotto-055xprob-pro-tripod-legs I have this tripod and a carbon one for travelling but the 055PROB is a very solid and popular tripod and always gets good reviews.
Grebel Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Thanks.. I have found with these kind of things, you get what you pay for.. Cheaper ones just suck!!!!! Too true... I bought a cheap video tripod and the picture quality sucks. My mate's one cost almost as much as my camera!

marsbeetle Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Carbon??? Thanks though.. I'll check it out.. Edit: A bit over my budget... No, that's the cheaper aluminium one I suggested ;-) ...I have two, the one I suggested and a lighter carbon one I use for travelling. The aluminium 055PROB comes in handy where I live with the strong winds, last thing you need is for the tripod to fall over with your camera attached.

Slowbee Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 I really battled getting the lighting right. In the end, its a terrible photo at full size as it is "grainy". However on resize, looks good . It is a local hill in Gordons Bay. Locals will know it well. oh yes, posted the one pic in the "awesome thread"
