Deji Joseph Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I need a Tripod that is pretty fluid and can support the average DSLR rig. My current budget is £150. I don't mind buying anything used one as long as its in decent condition. My best search so far is http://www.amazon.co.uk/Konig-Heavy-Professional-Camera-Tripod/dp/B000JU7N3I/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1312231555&sr=8-3 Im also thinking of getting a SUPER cheap mate box http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RJ-Matte-Box-15mm-rod-support-follow-focus-5DII-7D-/250859616324?pt=UK_CamerasPhoto_DigitalCameras_DigitalCameras_JN&hash=item3a6865f844#ht_3617wt_932 I know it doesn't have a filter tray, I use a vari-nd with my DSLR at the moment so I currently don't need the filters. You might be wondering why I am bothering with such a low quality box. My reason, aesthetics, actors i have worked wit seem to give better performances when a DSLR is "kitted" up, much to my dismay. I guess to people who dont know anything about cameras bigger seems better. Also it will reduce flaring Dj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
