Question - tripod

[knighthawk]

At the moment I am using cheap tripod I borrowed while waiting save money up for good quality tripod that will last and easy use
I am thinking about buying a XCSOURCE® Profeshional Portable Magnesium Aluminium Alloy Tripod Monopod & Ball Head http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00KNJ2QUA/?tag=networkmechan-21
Any other suggestions guys please

Ideally you need a three way head, that's got a ball head.

I use gitzo's with a ball head
I like their ocean traveller series, carbon, so light, very water resistant, especially to salt, or the shit in flooded rotors.

They quote 4Kg weight, but I've found this is very conservative.

Mug was my word of choice.

Also, completely irrelevant to the OPs question. He's blatantly looking for a cheap tripod, not the most ridiculously overpriced tripod that any of us have ever seen.

I use this

Works quite well, cheap, small when folded. Only thing I don't like is the silly (imo) g-lock twist lock feature of the legs. Its nearly toppled over a few times when I haven't done one up tightly enough but that's my only gripe.

yeah that's some tripod, thankfully I stick my pop star wages to better uses

£900 for a tripod?? Fuck off.
