I suggest you save some more on a far better tripod. One that will take years before you would need an upgrade.


For me, I'm looking at the Benro A-500EX and will check on some Manfrotto tripods later.





Current line up is a gripped 450D, 430EX II and a 17-55 but I have plans on buying a 70-200 2.8 ISU someday so I'm looking for a tripod that can carry that much weight. Since we're talking about tripods, any suggestions for my gears?
