Suggestion on tripod needed.

Guys,

I need some suggestions for a decent tripod.

My conditions are:

* Usage: I want to use it for hiking and daily walkaround with Lowepro flipside 200 bag.
* Should be light weight and sturdy.
* Dont want to spend too many $$, so should be cost effective.
* Want to use it with XTi, and few lenses. Nothing huge.

In case someone has any for sale, do let me know. I am all open for a good condition used one as well.

Any suggestions?

maybe searching houston-craigslist for a used bogen 3001 leg + whatever head you want. i saw some legs with a 322rc2 ballhead for $140 .. the head was new and it costs $125 from b&h .. someone bought me it like 5minutes before me. :[

You really need to give us a budget. For some, an inexpensive lightweight tripod = $40, for others anything under $400 is a bargain.

Check out Adorama's carbon fiber tripods. They have "lots" of inexpensive models to choose from. I am sure that you can find one to fit your needs.

For me yes around 40$ is good enough. But it should be light and easy to carry around. Any suggestions for some model/brand? I have never used one, so not sure what exactly to look out for.

What all head types are there? And which to choose based on what conditions?

In response to this thread, I made this one. Hope it helps you.
