QUOTE(-kytz- @ Feb 1 2015, 11:19 PM) I think your current tripod is the really lousy type, freebie quality (those rm50 types?). For the tripod legs, just need something thicker and sturdy, but most importantly for your case is getting a good ballhead that's rated for the weight of the equipment. Even a RM200 tripod will suffice. Usually you pay more for lighter weight, higher quality materials and better features.. http://www.gstrapinuse.com/index.php?main_...4ed163b7e235732Is this the one? http://www.lelong.com.my/buffalo-pro-80-pr...#descpContainermy current tripod is : http://www.lelong.com.my/octopus-oc-tri505...5-09-Sale-P.htm1st 3 months ok, later something loose at ball head area, i think was the camera mounting area not good

QUOTE(DaddyO @ Feb 2 2015, 10:54 AM) First of all, check what is causing the vibration. Is it the head or the tripod? If the tripod does not shake but the head does, then just replace the head. Or you can try weigh down the tripod by hooking/tying up your bags underneath it. It should have a hook underneath since it claim to support 14kg, though probably false advert. If all fails, then replace the whole tripod but bear in mind, cheap, small or travel tripods probably won't do any better if your camera has one powerful mirror slap. Don't look at overall height based on column length but rather the legs height. Try looking for tripods with hook underneath that can add to better stabilization if needed. confirmed caused by ball head mouting area, because when camera mirror up, it created shake the mounting is not hold my camera tight even i tighten to max. the tripod is loose

QUOTE(supersound @ Feb 2 2015, 02:13 PM) I will suggest you to test it out first. Anyway, this type of tripod are quite convenient to expand/retract as it is using screw type. Some are using clip type and that is not that good. hi supersound, if i want to buy Manfrotto tripod, this combination can meet my requirement ? 496RC2 ball head http://www.manfrotto.com/compact-ball-head-with-rc2294 Aluminum Tripod 3 Sections http://www.manfrotto.com/294-aluminum-tripod-3-sections

QUOTE(supersound @ Feb 5 2015, 01:37 PM) So far so good, not problem at all. If not mistaken there's a rubber base for it also. Already few months never use tripod, only using it for group photos. But as said, try to survey for the best price. That time I bought list price is rm350-400(forgot the price) and when doing payment, it is rm900 Then try it and see does it fit your needs or not. thanks bro appreciated ur help

QUOTE(winterwish @ Mar 11 2015, 09:35 PM) Try and get something reliable like http://www.techradar.com/reviews/cameras-a...-1028379/reviewIt's made in Italy and should be under RM800 (maybe slightly more) if you hunt around. I got mine for RM550 (tripod) and RM300 (for the head). Trust me you don't want to waste your money on lousy tripod. Used a Jusino before, the leg collapsed while I was shooting sunset at the beach. Luckily I hang the camera around my neck, very close to fall in the water  Only downside of this tripod is its freaking heavy. Haha yes, manfrotto 055 series definitely the best choice. heavy = steady. i dun mind if its heavy
