Need to buy a Tripod TONIGHT!

Hey everyone,

I need some major help right now. I was counting on getting the DynaTran 858CL from Amvona.com tonight, but now I'm a bit nervous. The fact that they don't sell anywhere but their own site is odd. They have horrible Reseller Ratings, and I'm not around for the time of day that their Ebay auctions end. Sooooo, now I need something different.

OK so here is what I need, is a complete tripod with:
-3-way head, preferably with a bubble on the head or the legs
-legs that can get pretty low (2ft?)
-Decent support...5+lbs
-$150 or less, shipped
-I don't care how much it wieghs

I thought DynaTran tripods would be a good idea for their price, support, and other characteristics, but I'm not comfortable with buying from them, and the other other brand I'm familar with is Manfrotto, which is way out of my price range.

I need a tripod for a small photo shoot friday...and even if someone can recommend a cheap crap one from Walmart or The Camera Store to fill my need real quick, it would be appreciated.

The prices listed on Amvona.com are highly inflated IMHO. I personally will not pay $150 for a AT-858. It is their price on eBay that makes them attractive.
If you are not around during the time when the auction ends, you can use one of the sniper service, to help you bid automatically. You just need to put in the maximum bid and tell it when to execute the bid. I have never used one before but have seen many people have great luck with it.

I'm sure chabooky386 will be glad to sell you his.
Sorry.

Well, after realizing I'm an idiot for even posting...I did some quick searching, and am now looking at Slik tripods. They might be a good solution for now.
