Re: Compact Light Camera Tripod for landscape work - £50 limit
In this month's DP, they tested 4 budget tripods.
Velbon Sherpa 750n £90 - 3 stars. Good features and build, but heaviest in test, and slow to operate.
National Geographic Tundra NGTT2 £50 - 4 stars. Similar to the Mobo. Handy tripod if you are travelling light, but lacks the stability to hold a heavy dSLR.
Manfrotto 785B Modo Maxi £50 - 4 stars. Joystick head, lightweight, compact solution for travel. Best not to extend too high if you have a heavy dSLR (Presume same comment could have been made on the National geographic), great accessory for the money.
Manfrotto 190D/056 head £90 - 5 stars. Not lightweight(!) Rock steady, would be better with 486RC2 head £25 extra.
Looks like both of the £50 ones are worth looking at.
