Slik U2210 tripod
It's everything an amature photographer wants :well made, lightweight, stable, and almost limitlessly adjustable. The quick-release mounting post means I don't have to struggle with dismounting my camera from the tripod. I've had a U212, so I knew this 210 would be a terrific value (I did buy this one used). Matter of fact, the only real difference between the 212 and the 210 I see is the 212 is anodized black, and the 210 is clear aluminum anodize.
These are made in Japan, and the quality shows- no sloppy hinges, no loose mounts, no ill-fitting legs. The legs will adjust to almost flat on the floor. The adjustment lock knobs hold your position firmly. The rubber feet can be screwed back revealing pointed feet- useful on hard surfaces or if you need to achieve finer adjustment.
The pan head has adjustments that permit swinging the camera on it's side,crank up and down, 360* swivel, pan up and down, and allows you to shoot nearly straight up or down. The head is removable from the tripod. There is a built in ball level, and degrees of swivel are marked to allow panoramic shooting.
If you're looking at tripods, give the 210 or 212 some serious consideration. You won't be disappointed.
