Anybody have experience with this tripod? I am looking to buy a light and compact tripod that will hold my 20D + 10-22 or 17-55 IS. Would this tripod be stable enough for my equipment? I don't want to spend too much on a tripod because I don't typically shoot with one. Any input would be greatly appreciated. If you can recommend other tripods in the same price range and size, please advice. Thanks in advance!

I have this Tripod, I use it for a backup and mostly on my G9 only. It is a decent tripod, and really cheap. That being said you might be better off spending more money on a better tripod, especially if it is going to be your only one. Search around on here for Manfrotto's they are popular, cheap, and good.

The Slik is decent, but its ballhead will not hold my XTi with grip and large lenses. So it is worthless for that, but it is great for the G9.

Thanks for your input. Which model specifically from Manfrotto? I don't mind paying a little bit more as long as it is compact and light. Thanks.
