A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Tripod for multi-use (alien.top)

Self-explanatory. I shoot multiple forms and take videos occasionally. I don't have too high of a budget and "investing" for more money really isn't an option, so I'd appreciate whatever suggestions you can give. Budget is $100, maybe can fit in $150, but would like to see if there's any hidden gems y'all have. I know literally everyone has a $500 to $1000 Manfrotto or Miller, but again, not much of a budget.

I currently have a $40 amazon tripod from ultimax, it's pretty good but the legs are gruadually getting weaker, and a plastic piece to a part snapped, doesn't hender the use but is still annoying to work with. Main concern for me is supporting weight, and good legs!

tripods are made to last.

With that kind of budget look on whatever second hand online market that is available to you. Someone out there is going to be looking to get rid of their tripod or camera gear. Look for mislabeled tripods. The more accurate the description, the closer to retail price.

Anything heavy and sturdy (but you are willing to carry) will be up your alley.
