... I don't know enough about them to know what applies to what I want to do. I can and will learn enough to make a smart buy, I just need some help jump-starting my research.
My priority, for the time being, is price. I'm on a STRICT budget, so I want the most tripod I can get for the fewest dollars. I don't think I'll use it too often, and when I do, it will be for static shots (no need for making quick adjustments to the tripod).
I, of course, want to stretch my dollar as far as it will go and get a great value.
I have a D7000, at the moment, I only have the 18-105mm kit lens, so weight is minimal, but I have access to some heavier glass (my parents have an 70 or 80-400mm I use from time to time that is fairly hefty, but it also has a lens-mount bracket to mount to the tripod).
Thanks in advance!
