I am looking for a decent tripod for my film work. I have a little $30 one but I'd like another one.
My price range is about $40-100. Any suggestions help

Thanks!

I haven't gotten one yet, but I've done some research and decided on this one:

The reviewers seem to agree that you won't find more value for the price, and that the fluid head is pretty good. It's probably your best bet unless you want to go spending 300+ bucks :/

crigslist and ebay.

$100 bucks get you some great stuff.

My huge headed quickset.. $100 on ebay.

Just quick check of my local craigslist..
http://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/for/1762775734.html $65

Or this monfroto and bogen head for $85

Yes, buying used tripods is generally the way to go. High quality tripods last and last, and you can find some of the really nice higher end tripods close to your price range used.

Failing that, the Slik 504QF-II (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/150608-REG/Slik_615_504.html) is apparently really good.

THank you everyone for your input, used is of course an option and b & h photo is a great place to find them. Again thanks,

I agree with wheatgrinder about looking on craigslist and eBay - I managed to snag a Matthews M25 for about half the list price. I'd much rather have used semi-pro gear than brand new consumer stuff.

eBay, don't have Craigslist in the UK! Was very lucky really - searched for it specifically on eBay a few days after I first heard about it, and there was an auction ending in a few days time. I haven't seen a used one on there since, mind, but you might get lucky seeing as they're produced in the US.

No Craigslist in the UK?

Oh fair enough, never seen that before! Certainly isn't utilised to anything like the extent it is in the states.
