Occupation: International Military Arms dealer
Status: Keen hobbyist with higher ambitions
Main Camera: Nikon D300
Tripod: £80 Camlink from Jessops. It looks sturdier than it is but it does the job for me as I rarely use it.
Do I make money from my pics: I've made £50 so far. Another 4 zeros and I can retire!!

For those that really need a sturdy tripod for the kind of photography they do then I can totally understand why they'd pay £400 for one. Why stick an expensive camera and lens on a wobbly tripod? For that matter, why stick a cheap camera and lens on a wobbly tripod if you want sharp pictures?
