Hi All,
I recently got a D7000 as my first DSLR and i'm very happy with it, but i need to get a tripod and head. It needs to be quite versatile, i dont have a macro lens yet but its high on my list of wants.
I have a manfrotto monopod so it doesnt need to necessarily be ultra compact.
For the head, i'm not interested in video at all, just stills.
I borrowed a manfrotto tripod the other week and was really dissapointed by how much the head slipped continually! Not sure if that was because of age etc but its not what i want.
So i'm just wondering what you guys use and what you would recommend?
Price wise i'm kind of hoping a few hundred should buy something that will last, probably longer than the camera.
Thanks,
Neal
