I brought this one on ebay for £15 and its well built and very solid. Mine even has small spirt levels built in.
You have lots of control over the camera as well with the mount. |

Not everyone needs a tripod often enough to justify £160 for one (dashed good though it may be), Bob

I think I picked up one of these in Oz when I forgot my regular tripod. Careful you don't overtighten the screws or the casing can crack....

Cheap tripods are fine for normal digital cameras, but if you are wanting to put anything bigger on they just don't work well. A tripod is supposed to provide a steady base to shoot on, and cheap plastic just bends too easily. But at around £10 for a tripod, it will do you fine for a while.

yeh but trouble is i used one of those 15 quid jobbies cos my father in-law bless him is a cheap b'stard and wouldn't know quality if it bit him in the butt! and it was crap, trying to take pics of the moon or anything slow shutter was a complete nightmare as it kept moving with the mirror slap!
from that moment i promised myself a decent tripod!
