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!
I use a knockoff Manfrotto that I got about eight years ago with the intention of replacing when my budget permitted. Eight years later, I have found that the tripod is very sturdy and durable. I also picked up a gimbal a few years ago which is my go to tripod head unless I am traveling overseas. Look on Amazon for something that is built like a Manfrotto. Hopefully, you will have the same luck that I did.
