Beginner Budget Tripod ( or is that false economy ? )

[tonybassplayer]

Probably like most newbies I am a little inundated with the vast price range etc of the now not so humble tripod.

Since getting my camera (Canon 60D) I am really enjoying myself and after seeing my fireworks result I know that a decent tripod needs to be on my Xmas wish list.

I was out at the weekend with friends and managed to get some semi decent shots but feel a tripod would have helped me get better ones.

I really can't justify anyone spending £100 plus on me and I am thinking along the lines of maybe £50 ish

Is that a good amount to kit me out with something decent or should I "take the money" and wait until I can afford something that won't need upgrading later ?

Many thanks

Look on the classifieds here, you should be able to pick up a decent one used.

The manfrotto 190 or 055 series are excellent value for money.
