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!
If you’re near a metro area, then search for a local photography swap meet. i have gotten great deals on bags, tripods, lenses, filters, bodies. And have sold gear to vendors at them too. I suggest this because you should find some good options. It’s buyer beware but you will be able to give it a good look over before you buy. Short of that, I don’t think you will find a sturdy, long lasting tripod in your price range. Also, I assume you are using your camera to shoot video? Otherwise, video gear needs to be on heavier tripods for safety.
