Is there anyone around here who is still using his first tripod? How many times have we all been told that there is no such thing as a cheap *and* decent tripod? Has it ever kept anyone of us from buying all this worthless crap? Let me try this: get a second-hand cheap tripod. You'll want to get rid of it soon enough anyhow and you'll cut your losses. One more tip: there's also lots of expensive crap, e.g. stay away from everything with tubular legs and the name Manfrotto written on it. Ra-Berlebach-lf -- Ralf R.
