Tripods

["Paul G Dodd" <>]

Hi Debbie,

I bought a Manfrotto 190X Pro-B tripod with a 804RC2 head (available as a
kit) about a year ago - I can thoroughly recommend it. I bought it from
Michaels in Melbourne for around $250 on special, from memory. I notice that
this package is still available - here's a link from Teds.

You may need to shop around for price (the Teds price is $299), but a walk
around the camera stores in Elizabeth St in the city should get you a good
price.

Could anyone offer advice about buying a tripod for a DSLR + 300mm lens?
Obviously, the more you spend, the better the quality. I'm willing to spend
about $300. Would that get me something not too heavy but still solid in
windy weather? There are $80 tripods that seem pretty good. What's the
difference?
