I think its time for me to buy a tripod.

Ive concluded no photographer is complete without one...especially with my love for night time photography.

Ive heard the one at wal-mart for 50 bucks is probably my best bet...anyone have anything else to say on the matter?

Or they kept them to themselves. I'm right where you are, Paul, knowing I have to buy one but not sure which one to get....and busy in the bargain. I hope you'll post if you buy one and I'll do same.

Hi. Just saw this one - I have a hard time keeping up.

I recently got the $20 WalMart one. Just makes sense that the $50 one would be better.

...we s'posed ta be theenkeen ?...bummer...
...hey Jude...ya still ain't got no steenkeen tripod yet?...
...send me all yer $, and I'll get ya one and mail it to ya...
...yer pal,
buzzy

Paul,

Sorry I can't help you out. I bought mine at a auction here in town for $15. It was a used one from the college photography department. It is probably equivilant to the $50 one at walmart except my don't have a quick release. Extended it is probably 72 inches and 3 way head. Try your local camera shops for used equipment before you go out and buy one from walmart. That would be my only suggestion.

The one I have seen at Walmart was purchased by at least two members here..I thought either Sandman or Dwight..

It was $20 and extended to 52 inches with center bubble leveler and center column lock...two quick release mounts.
