Here's an option for you.


If you want a good tripod for under $100 don't buy a new one. Anything new for under $100 is not very good at all. I'd recommend going to ebay and buy a used Manfrotto 3021 for example. A few years ago they were what a lot of pro photographers used. They were go enough for them back then, they'll be good enough for you right now. They aren't as light or as nice as the expensive new ones but, they are still really stable nice tripods for someone on a budget. If your pictures don't turn out, you won't have to worry about blaming the tripod. On the other hand, if you purchase a brand new under $100 tripod, chances are it won't be very stable and you won't be happy with it.
