Good tripods?

[Kangbang]

What are some good tripods under $150 that will also be able to have this on top of it.

23 inch. Weighs 2 pounds.

If you can get an extra $50 you can get a pretty decent tripod from manfrotto that works well with DSLR set ups and can hold that slider. Let me know how that slider works out I wanna get one as soon as I get the money.

I've got a job, so getting an extra $50 isn't that much of a problem. I don't have that slider yet.

don't skimp on a tripod, thats all I am gonna say

Benro carbon legs are the best "cheap" tripods out there. They're Gitzo clones, made in a Chinese factory that Gitzo were going to move production to at some point.

I just got this tripod for 150 shipped and it is actually really nice. I like it better than a lot of 501 set ups I have used.

Just going to throw this out there that the solo instrument in that song was an oboe, and I had that solo for a local orchestra last year and fucking blew bitches away with it.

Is this a good tripod?

no thats a ball head instead of a fluid head.

Don't buy a piece of shit tripod. A shitty tripod=a shitty stabilized shot, and they break easier and can be harder to use.

For the purposes of using a slider, this is an excellent head. Much better than the Manfrotto 701/501.

Aside from that, I will say that any tripod less than the $1,000 price range (except Sachtler FSB4) will end up costing you money in the long run. I have been through Bogen/Manfrotto tripods like candy for one reason: they are poorly made. If I had the common sense to drop $1k on a tripod all at once, I'd be using that same tripod for over a decade rather than spending $500 every 2 years to replace a tripod that never worked very well in the first place.

It was for that reason I didn't get a manfrotto tripod. For $60 I can replace my head( which I think could last atleast 2 years). Its actually made better than manfrottos imo.
