Camera Tripods

[downfader]

the assistant considers it an honour!

I bought the Giottos. Now here's a funny thing. You've been in the kind of bike shop where the assistants lack the gift of adult conversation and are more interested in the stock than the customers? Try going to camera shops......

Anyway it looks really sturdy to me, and it's not so very heavy.

Once again, many, many thanks for all your help, both on this and on the pre-Christmas camera thread.

London Camera Exchange are the same. You can get good advice from a really good shop like that, even save money. The LCE guys have suggested other options for lenses and heads to what I had considered, even layed out why I might be better off with a cheaper alternative (or one for the same money, different brand).

Calumet are a pro supplier. They've worked with a lot of paps and news crews. Robert White's is another good one, too. I must have spend a good 30k in camera shops in recent years.

I am in the market for my first tripod. How did your recent buy work out?
