Does it come in another finish that might be less expensive? Here's the link. Which head though? I went to the B&H page and they're were lots of choices. It's a full featured, well made, solid tripod that couldĮasily last an amateur a lifetime of use. Just above your price range, my other reccomendation, the Bogenģ021N. Not as nice,Īlso around your price range, the Bogen 3001, which is a bit ItĬompares in stability to the Bogen/Manfrotto 3021. IMHO, the 300DX remains perhaps the best under $100 tripod.

So, I know the hassle of not being able to keep the camera in position. I've still got too much stuff on my wish list and once I have the tripod I will absolutely want that Canon Timer Remote Controller TC-80N3.īTW right now I have a super cheapo tripod I used to use with my Oly C3030 and it's certainly not made to handle the 10d - particularly with taht 75-300 weighing down the front end. I've really got to stay under $150 with this thing. I haven't checked the specs between it and the Bogen, but I doubt it is enough lighter to make it worth using. In addition, it is not very light either. Legs are much easier to adjust than the Slik. I just recently got the Bogenģ221 WN and the 488RC2 ball head and love this combo. Move as you tighten it and it will move under heavier loads. I am with the others on recommending against the U212. ![]() ![]() But then, if you want a really sturdy tripod that you can easily carry all day, carbon fiber works, but is quite expensive.Īt any rate, I would emphatically suggest the 300DX over the U212. ![]() Note that neither of these tripods is particularly light. The leg angle adjustment mechanisms are very fiddly, and don't hold very well. The head moves as you tighten it down, and it doesn't stay in place very well. While I often reccomend the 300DX as a good starter tripod, I could not, in good faith, reccomend the U212 Deluxe to anyone for any purpose. I also need to stay as light as possible since I will beĬarrying it everywhere on my already hefty backpack. What do you recommend in a comparable price range. Which is actually better, why, and if you don't care for these, The deluxe is $99Īnd the 300 is $119, but the deluxe "reads" better than the 300. Yet as they were out of stock and just came in. Would you recommend either of these? I haven't seen them in person ![]()
