I want to buy a tripod and I was wondering if you can give me some feedback about a good brand.Also I would like to know if it's normal to be lightweighted(about 2.2pounds). I found one, HQ Tripod, around 22.5$; is this a good deal?
please help.

Giorgio it may be helpfull if you do a little research and ask us which one do we think, there are many tripod brands out there and many different opinions on each one.
personaly i have a calumet tripod with a three way panorama head, its not really light but to me i dont mind carrying it.
they have light ones that are made of carbon fiber but they get pretty expensive. you have to give us an idea of your budget.

I spent over $200 for my tripod head, extra for the legs. Bottom line, buy the best you can afford. Cheaper ones might have plastic parts that could break or be so lightweight that they tip over easily, either of which can damage your camera.
The heavier camera you buy, the more heavy-duty tripod you should use typically.

I agree (!?!?) with idnic.
I wasted deneros on less expensive tripods. Purchased a "real" one a couple of months ago and can never, ever, ever, never ever go back. I use the lighter tripods as wireless flash tripods now.
And I (only) have $300 into the tripod. I'll upgrade later, I know it. |
