Hello, I currently shoot with a 7D and I'm looking for a new tripod.

My budget is around $200, but there's just so many options that I'm being a little overwhelmed.

I think the most important thing for me is compact size without compromising stability, I don't think carbon fiber is necessary nor can I afford it.

I was looking at a few of the Benro travel tripods and they seem to be about the perfect size.

Thanks!

I have this Benro: http://www.bhphotovide​o.com …_TRA269_Travel_​Angel.html (external link)

I've been happy with it so far. I walked around Bermuda with it strapped to my backpack last week. 4lbs may not sound much, but weight is very noticeable when you're trying to go light. Anything lighter, you'll need to spend at least $400 :lol:

But if I could do it all over again, I'd probably get this one instead: http://www.bhphotovide​o.com …ripod.html#spec​ifications (external link)
I'd trade the maximum extended height for less weight. ;)
