Suggestions for tripod under $600

5 years 11 months ago #578372 by Janos
I'm looking for a carbon fiber tripod, in the $600 or less range. I prefer flip locks to twist and don't care to have center column.


Suggestions, thoughts, and of course your comments are appreciated.

$600 is enough buy a great tripod. With that budget I would look for a deal on a Really Right Stuff unit or even a used one. Most anything in that price range should work well for you.

  • Go to bhphotovideo.com and look under Photography / Tripods / Camera Tripods with Heads.
You can then filter on lock type, height, material, price, head type, etc. They have a wide assortment, which will lead you in the direction of products that meet your requirements. Once you have candidates, ask for opinions here.

I would start your search with: 3 Legged Thing, Sirui and Vanguard.  All 3 of these companies fall below that price point.
