hey guys whats up? well so far i have been using a real cheap tripod, and now its time for me to step up but i do not want to spend a lot of money on one, so what is the best deal you guys have heard about? thanks , oh i am looking for a fluid head i mean i want something that works allright it doesnt have to be great.

budget? (approximately)

Other information might help too, like what camera you have (weight, kind of image stabilization, LANC control, etc.) and what kind of shooting you do.

John, you should really browse through the Support you local camera (http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=42) forum which exists just to answer this sort of question.

whoops sorry i left so much out well my budget is somewhere around $250 hopefully less and the camera i am using is a dvx 100 which is why im too broke to buy a tripod, lol.

Take a look at the Libec models.
