Any suggestions on which tripods are good for using the 995 for average use?

We came across this tripod at PMA. It seems to be as close to the perfect tripod as we could find:

does this tripod go down to almost ground level? Need to be able to get down low for kids shots.
Thanks!

Hi,
This is the Velbon tripod that I use...
It is a good price, sturdy and very versatile. The centre post can be unscrewed in the middle for the low profile set-up, or reversed up-side-down.
You can also get other heads and accessories for it.

I think the US name for it may be EFL-3.

Bought a very nice Velbon at Fry's for 19.95. Works great, and extends up to 6' so I dont have to croutch. The higher end models were 39.95 and 49.95.
Went to Ritz camera a few days later and the same tripods were 49.95, 59.95, and 69.95.

You might consider a Benbo Trekker. It is extremely versative and well made. On the minus side, it is fairly large and cumbersome to collapse and can tip if you are not careful. I have three tripods, and I use the Benbo most with my 995 due to its versatility. The main pod is like a macro rail, allowing for all manner of ground shots.
Here is a link that covers the plus/minus. BTW, I got mine on a promotional sale for $110 Cdn which made the decision much easier.

how low to the ground can you get the camera? according to the stats over at B&H it's 11", but the picture makes it seem a lot lower.
