decent inexpensive tripod from Sony

"Great tripod for the money. I thought it would be a tad bit short because I'm 6'1", but it works out good. I don't mind bending slightly to see the LCD screen on the camera. I often use the tripod less than full height anyways.



The circular bubble level on the stand (not the head) is nice. If …"  Read Full Review »

"I don't have a lot of experience with tripods, most of the ones I have used are inexpensive. I used to use a Sunpak at school and decided to get one of these for myself.
