    Cool Tripods

    I've decided to take the next step in equipment needs, and this includes the purchase of a good entry level tripod. At the local camera store today I found a this Manfrotto 290 Series priced @ $179. Any of the others I looked at were over-sized or too light weight. Thoughts.............

    It looks good only for me it is too low-only 128 cm. This high is not good for your back. I have 175 cm without center column.
