Do you have a budget set aside for a tripod or are you just looking at certain tripods?

I'll subscribe to this thread as I'm looking for a beginners tripod too. I would say that the load bearing capacity of those two isn't much - 2Kg for the first and 1.5Kg for the second so I think they'd be more suitable for compact point and shoots.

I think this Red Snapper one would be better, but interested to hear other's opinions on it - http://www.redsnapperuk.com/camera-accessories/RST-283___RSH-24_3-way_Head.html#a159
