Hello, I'm planning to buy a simple decent quality tripod for my canon 600d also preferably if can also be used as handheld, I don't think I would use it very often, just occasionally so I wouldn't want to spend too much on the tripod, anyone can recommend a decent quality one ? I was looking at Zomei Q111, is that a decent one ?

For the price, I think its fair. However, what you said you will mount it with, I don't think it will be safe.

I bought one for my wife and she mounts her phone most of the time. I sometimes use it for my m43 camera indoors and in a very controlled environment but even that I wouldn't trust its integrity because the mount/plate is plastic.

I ended up with Benro T600EX, which costs me 200 after discount. Is this a good buy or did I just wasted my money ? tongue.gif

Can't speak for the benro. Good luck in your purchase.

Actually, I've seen andoer (I think q160) selling tripods at around RM100+ and I've managed to use it briefly and recently.... The tripod head, plate, mount definitely more solid than the zomei cause its aluminium. The legs are a bit skinny but overall, I felt it to be definitely better built than the zomei q166.

benro for 200 is good. what do you want the tripod to do? legs steady, adjustable, easy to keep. ok d.

weight wise you're not gonna get anything amazing unless u go carbon fiber already.

just dont get those rubbish plastic ones can already.

Benro is generally a good brand. I got one before 2010 and it is still pretty solid now.
