| I am in need of a tripod with an extended length of 69” or higher. Budget is around $100. does anyone have any suggestions? |
| does anyone have any experience with this one... www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16830997418 |
Wow..that's a decent price. |
Not bad including a ball head, but I have no experience with it, so who knows... |
| ok i found another candidate.... www.adorama.com/SVPP4.html what do you think? |
I looked them up on the net after reading a book by Scott Kelby. He recommended them for those of us that wanted quality but don't depend on our gear for a living. |
So..what nationality would you recommend? I've always thought Scandinavian women had great legs!

i need one of these too.... www.adorama.com/PTTX2500.html Is there an alternative to this that doesnt cost $80? |
Not sure about other brands, but I know some of the Bogen/Manfrotto tripods have a center column that comes out and can be used horizontally. |
| My Giottos legs do that. The center column is used horizontally or vertically. It can also be used upside down and if I'm not mistaken you can shorten it if necessary. The legs also have three different angles from normal tripod (almost vertical) to almost completely horizontal. They're awesome even if they don't get the press that Bogen does. |

Keep your eye out for a used one. The best source I have found for used gear is the Buy & Sell forum on FM. Here's a link... www.fredmiranda.com/forum/board/10 Here's a couple of others... www.zuga.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=9 www.opensourcephoto.net/forum/index.php?s=ba6380a93516d3e8a3eb9fae7019ab00&showforum=18 You might have to sign up to use them, but it's free. |
