Aluminum Camera Tripod
Posted on Monday, August 10, 2009 in Photography
Any suggestions on a tripod that meet the following conditions?
My boyfriend is getting himself a macho camera for his birthday (I don't know what kind, but one of those really cool macho ones that takes amazing pictures). So, I want to give him a tripod, but I'm having issues sorting through all the different kinds and brands of tripods. I look forwards to your suggestions!
-Price range $40-$60
-Folds up small enough to put into a backpack
-Lightweight enough to carry around in a foreign city all day
-Unfolds to a comfortable height for a 6'4" man
-Good quality
Also, while researching, I found some tripods are made of aluminum, and some of carbon. What's the difference?
Thanks in advance!!
Cheap tripods are a pain to use, I'm afraid you will need to rethink your price range. With tripods buy quality - buy once, he'll love you for it!!.
A Monfrotto 190ProB and a 486/RC2 head is really a minimum, the UK price is around £120.00 for both. He really will still be using it 40+ years from now.
A carbon fibre version is double the price, but roughly half the weight.
