Tripod with Ballhead

What's a good tripod with a ball head that will hold a canon t3? I don't want to spend a lot but I want a decent one.

Are we talking under $200, $300, or $400? How much you looking to spend?

Manfrotto 055XPROB ($114) and Mantrotto 496RC2 ($56) would be under budget and be a good fit for you.

Where are you getting it for that? Here in the US it is $240, the lowest 055 Series is $200. The 294 which will hold around 11 lbs is about $130, or there is the one 294 kit with the RC2 ballhead is $189. That is what they had it for at the camera store I was at. If you go to B&H they probably have it cheaper. And also BestBuy carries that kit I believe, so if you have one in your area, check it out.

Both B&H and Amazon also have it for $140 plus a $25 rebate.

You should look at Slik and Siriu too. Benro has some inexpensive tripods too.
