Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / December 2005Canon 20D tripod recommendations
I'm looking for a SOMEWHAT lightweight tripod for my Canon 20D I have two lenses, the 28-135 IS that I use ALMOST exclusively plus a 70-200 "L" lense. If POSSIBLE I'd like to stay within $100 to $200. Any and all recommendations will be appreciated.

They were sorted by price. > I'm looking for a SOMEWHAT lightweight tripod for my Canon 20D I have > two lenses, the 28-135 IS that I use ALMOST exclusively plus a 70-200 [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Visit: > www.cjpphotos.com > I'm looking for a SOMEWHAT lightweight tripod for my Canon 20D I have > two lenses, the 28-135 IS that I use ALMOST exclusively plus a 70-200 > "L" lense.

And there have been several threads in the last few months for tripod recommendations. Google should work just fine.

IMHO, it's a very good setup. The tripod is light and the head is very versatile. The head with its let-go-to-secure design is a real pleasure to use compared to other twist-tighten-to-secure designs. The head can be reconfigured for left handed people and also for vertical mounting (just like the older 3265 head). It easily handles my 20D/lenses, and should even work ok when the head is set to its vertical grip position. It's a little more than you wanted to spend, but it's highly worth it.

Just ordered it from B&H. Thank you everyone for your input. -- Chris Visit: www.cjpphotos.com |
