Thread: Advice pls

So I got an ok camera and I'm going to photograph some animals , what's a good tripod for carring up on to the tops ?
Needs to be light and compact , and reasonably resilient .

Get a light, compact and resilient one Munsey.
And when you do, let me know which one you bought. :-)

I have just bought a BENRO IT15 might be worth a look.
I will see how it goes.
Price was $250.

At the cheap end of the scale I have a Gorillapod. It's Flexi legs make it able to grip a tree branch or other to get some height, or just use it as a low tripod. It's good for a small point be shoot.

I seen these ( 190 grams) . Maybe set up on a pack or rock , swivel on top , legs fold in for carrying / stalking .
My mate has a high end camera that we used but was too bulky etc but he used a mono pod . Which was a pain as you could not let go of it .

I will dig my one out of the shed and measure it/take photo later today.
It is not a baby one like that though. Probably 500mm folded

It is 340mm at lowest setting, and little over 1 metre extended. Tristar make. Light as. Easy [ATTACH=CONFIG]37108[/ATTextension / locking mechanism .
