I'm looking for a tripod for my DSLR.
What will you recommend?
Brand & price pls.
THank you.

i dunno your budget but gitzo or manfrotto.. 4digits:P

anyone dare to put camera on those bundled (free gift) by the camera shop?
>_< looks like its gonna falls if put the camera on

wah 4 digits is too expensive for me.
i'm looking for something below rm200.

Oh yeah ... the tripod 'big boys'. I personally like Manfrotto

velbon? slk? or hakuba.. u can find it within that range but it's all almosr the same.

One happened to fall when I was using my Nikon FM10, mounted with a Metz flash. Thank God it fell onto a carpet. Imagine, I paid THOUSANDS for a SLR and it fell mounted onto a RM99 tripod ... bang head man!!

Never EVER mount your DSLR on 'gift' tripods!!

though i don have good a tripod yet, u should clearly invest in one if possible.

Yeah I know ... there are those other brands like SLIK, Hakuba, Gitzo and Veron, etc.

Hahaha ... dun confuse the topic starter PLEASE!

it is secure to use tripod on malaysian street?

snatch thief are everywhere

(i think if studio no problem la)

snatch theif can steal a tripod? it's at least 3kgs.add that with cam n lens and it'll be nearly 5kg.of course be careful also la.

he's asking for brands what, so i give him lo

yo, i oso looking for a tripod...tripod below rm100 quality good or not?

I am not a very 'Monopod' or 'Tripod' fellow ... so I use my Canon tripod. Damn heavy duty ... used on lens, used on body, even mounted flash also!

For compact to prosumer cams, 'below RM100' is good enough, but not those RM55 plastic ones lar wahlau ...

Those that comes with your package is good enough i.e Nikon, Canon, Sony, etc. OEM tripods should be good enough for their own brand of cameras what ...

hahaha.honestly.. none.. i once did buy a tripod just about rm100.. i climbed mount fuji. i fixed my cam on the tripod. moments later the wind almost blew the whole thing off. i threw it away once i went down..


flash is possible? that's just cool.

Snatch thieves can steal anything, be it camera or tripod or notebook or your kids ... be EXTRA careful at all times!

Errr ... sometimes a tripod tips over is becoz we didn't fixed it properly. Yeah, you can mount a flash to a tripod in a Master-Slave configuration. Very technical shi!t

A manfrotto does not necessarily cost 4 digits.

I got a 190ProB and a 286 RCII Ballhead for under RM600.
It is steady enough to hold a budget RM800 telephoto on a D70 at 300mm for a 15 second exposure outdoors with a moderate amount of wind.

I suggest you visit Eng Tong, they are a distributor for the tripods and gave the best price i've come across.


Whatever it is, try to get a good ballhead. It will make your life alot easier.
