"Love my Manfrotto tripod, very sturdy, not to heavy and very adjustable. The price is also not that bad as well."

- I'm a student at Chico State University. I've always admired photography. My father was a photographer for a while in his career and still does it to this day. He inspired me a lot by all the beautiful shots he's captured over the years. I love taking unique photos and capturing the things and places I love. I especially like to shoot action shots, motocross is my main hobby, so I love taking moto shots. I'm pretty new to photography and kind of self teaching myself. I'm always open to feedback and any photography tips you may have! Thanks for looking:)

nathan mccreery replied to Ren Alber's discussion A good affordable tripod. Any Suggestions??"I just returned from a very long photographic business trip over two continents and multiple connecting flights. I carried a Velbon tripod, medium sized, with a magnesium head. I carried it into the cabin, on each leg, with no…"
Jack Harwick replied to Ren Alber's discussion A good affordable tripod. Any Suggestions??"I have an aluminum vanguard that I use in the studio and a carbon fiber one that I use in the field.

Ren Alber replied to Ren Alber's discussion A good affordable tripod. Any Suggestions??"Thank you all for the suggestions. I have a Vanguard right now and it does the job for most things. The biggest downside is the head, it would be nice if it were a bit more solid and easier to adjust. It is also not the lightest tripod ever, but it…"
Mike Davis replied to Ren Alber's discussion A good affordable tripod. Any Suggestions??"I have discovered that many Carbon Fiber Tripods weigh as much a good Aluminum model. I found going to places like Best Buy can yield an excellent piece of equipment for much less cost.
My best suggestion: Do not buy a Tripod that is shorter…"
Jack Harwick replied to Ren Alber's discussion A good affordable tripod. Any Suggestions??"Most of us have made the misstake of starting too cheap, and that is, I believe, that reason that many jump to the opposite extreme and buy gold plated. Velbon, Vanguard, and Swift, each make competent units at reasonable prices. While you are…"
Jared Weaver replied to Ren Alber's discussion A good affordable tripod. Any Suggestions??"Manfrotto makes GREAT tripods that are decently priced and very well made. I own an aluminum hiking tripod. It's heavy as hell but its super sturdy and absorbs vibration very well. I am not at all disappointed and it was only 100 dollars. Heads…"

Dan Tubbs, Jr. said… Hi Ren, Thanks for the friend invitation. You were obviously effected by your father's interest in photography and your work certainly shows that you have a great eye for your subject. Let me know if you have a chance to get over to the coast and maybe we arrange some time to go out and shoot.
Best regards,
Dan

- Hi, ya, shot motocross for about 5 years while my son was racing. Shot Unidilla 2 years. All that is still currently on negatives. I'm in the process of scanning my negatives into digital files. If I run across something good, I'll upload a copy for all to see. If you wanna see some good motorcycle racing look up Dito Milan. Website is Blue Milk something. He's on Face Book too. He lives in Northern Ca.
