Anyone have any suggestions of a decent tripod that's cheap? I'm talking under $100 - and the cheaper the better. Right now I use a tripod that was probably $25, and although the tripod itself is alright, the head is junk.
I do a little filming, but its mainly from a turkey blind, so I dont need the worlds smoothest fluid head because I dont move the head THAT much, but it would be nice if the little video I do take while moving the camera wasnt completely choppy.
I also use my tripod for glassing, mainly in my yard, out the window, a field edge, at the range, etc, so I don't need the most rugged, lightweight tripod - I'm not taking it on a trip out west any time soon - and by the time I can afford that, I can afford a nicer tripod.
A friend of mine uses a SLIK Compact Alloy tripod and head that can be bought off amazon for $80, and he says its incredible for the price, but it has a 3-position leg angle adjustment, which Im not sure I like because sometimes in the blind, I want to be able to pick exactly what I need for a leg angle, not just one of 3 settings.
I see plenty of other ones on there like ZOMEI, but I know nothing about the heads on them. Every once in a while I see a vanguard one on Camofire for $85 or so, but again, I know nothing about it.
