One good budget option that I think would still follow his aim is the Feisol tripods. I plan on starting with a set of their legs. |

A tripod is fairly low on my list--glass comes first. I have an old cheapie Slik to get me by for now & I rarely use a tripod anyway. However, I have read a lot of positive reviews over at fredmiranda--and those are some demanding users who know exactly what they want. Generally the consensus is the build quality isn't up to Manfrotto or Gitzo, but at half the price it's pretty good & about 90% of what you get with Gitzo. AFAIK they are only carbon fiber. |
