What are some good tripods? Looking to spend around $250-$350

For that $250-$350 range I've heard Manfrotto is one of the top companies.

I recently bought this from MeFoto, it was around $200, I wanted something light to carry around that folds up small, it got great reviews pretty much everywhere I read.

Preciate it breh :obama:

Quick question, how tall are you? The reason why I'm asking because I'm looking for a tripod that is tall enough to fit my height (6'4").

Don't wanna bend over too much that would put a strain on my back, and also don't wanna have to extend the center column all the way up because it may not be as stable

No problem, I'm 5' 8", I know MeFoto makes one larger than the Roadtrip I posted, I think it's a bit taller and holds more weight.

I thought it'd be able to offer something else....:sadcam: mannn idk lol
:mjlol: it's cool breh

personally i wouldn't cop a lens if i had another lens that's even remotely close to it :yeshrug: right now i got a 25mm on a micro 4/3rd system(so a 50mm equivalent), so all im gonna get is a wide angle lens and a narrow jawn then call it a day, buying anything else inbetween would just feel like im buying shyt just to do it :scusthov: shyt costs too much for me to be spending like that

but sometimes i see a lens that has me like :wow:.... gotta fight that urge breh

It happens.

My boy did something similar last year. He already has the kit lens for his camera, and he was like, "man, I just copped a new lens for the low off eBay..." :takedat:

I'm like which one you get? He then says, that he basically got the older kit lens for the same camera system. And I tell him it's really not gonna be that much different. He already had the 16-50MM lens, and he copped the 18-55MM lens

:mjlol:
