I recently bought a vanguard alta pro with a 100 ball head for £133 on amazon, brilliant for the style of photography I shoot! Plus it may be a little steep in price but it's sturdy and bends in loads of positions, google it and see what u think, but I think this is one of the best pieces of kit I have so far invested in hope this was helpful

I have three different tripods, all for different uses, the largest ans most solid is taller than me, about 30 years old and seriously tough, it would probably out live me

My smallest is this one, the older version of that tripod I just linked to, I only paid about £17 on Amazon.

Which one Ade, the latest version has spiked feet, opens wider, and has a quick release and is probably better for low level stuff.
