Dear QBN,
I'm a DSLR newbie with an EOS 7D and I'd like to get a tripod.
There are hundreds of reviews and recommendations on the web but can anyone here narrow it down for me please?
Budget $500 give or take.
Thanks.

I have a smaller one, & with head was around $500
Honestly, it breaks down really well, extremely light and by far the best tripod I have owned.

The thing I don't like about Manfrottos is they are usually bulkier, and the controls on the legs are annoying...

I bought a fairly sturdy piece of shit from the office depot for 19.99 and I really can't say it sucks.
Though, I'm curious to see where this thread goes....
