what mini tripod do you use for macro shooting to hold your dslr?

im looking for a mini tripod to use so i can do macro shots. i have a canon 60d with a canon 100mm macro. and every mini tripod i try tips over from the weight. what do you guys use?

Probably a bit (all right, a lot) more than you want, but I use this. It may seem excessive, but I also use it to hold a Gigapan Epic Pro when shooting 360 panoramas of cockpit interiors, for which it's perfect. So, since I have it around . . . I swap out the Gigapan for a RRS BH-40 or BH-55 and focusing rail.

that little thing is a beast. i cant afford that though. lol

I've always wanted one of these.

Fairly similar to Jon - I use the Gitzo 3320BS. Out of print now but a great little tripod if you can find one. It supports anything, well up to about 100 kilos or so, extremely rigid and quite compact. It is total overkill for normal uses but that's just what you want for Macro!

i found this http://www.ebay.com …geName=STRK%3AM​EBIDX%3AIT

think that will work for me?

I wouldn't trust the center column, and I'd be cautious about using the legs at full extension, but bearing that in mind, it could be a start. My biggest concern would be the pan-tilt head. I rather suspect it won't hold well, since it's probably high-density poly. I don't see any reference to it being removable, which would let you upgrade to a solider (probably ball-type) head. This sounds somewhat sturdier and more versatile. I still wouldn't use it with a center column extended, but it's Arca-Swiss compatible and the ball head seems to be removable so you can upgrade incrementally as needed.
