Draconian Guppy Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 So after ages of using generics and losing backplates, i've owned, two of theses generic: http://www.amazon.com/Aluminum-Samsung-Panasonic-eCost-Microfiber/dp/B00J8RM35Q/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1428330222&sr=1-6&keywords=tripod Not that exact same model, but just so you get the idea. Ken rockwell swears by this one (though I normally dislike any of his recommendations, this does seem to be "sane"). http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001D60LG8/ My max budget would be around $100. The weight is a D600 (1lb ish) plus 50mm and 85mm small prime lens, so tops 3 lb. I don't do much of tripod shooting, but I have myself with the ocasional need for one every now and then (family photos, long exposures) eg. the use wouldn't use it 24/7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
