Hi,
I am a noobie at the whole photography thing. I just recently purchased by first DSLR and know that I need a tripod to achieve some of the effects I want to achieve (slow shutter speed of water). I am not looking for a pro tripod or anything right now, I will upgrade if I need to later. I mostly do nature, landscape type photography, plus macro. I will be bringing it on hiking trips.
I am trying to understand the different types of heads? Is a ball head what I need? If not, what should I be using? Is there a type that is ideal for what I am looking to shoot.
I found a used Velbon Max i 343E ([ame]http://www.amazon.com/VELBON-343E-Lightweight-Photographic-Tripod/dp/B00006HOO1[/ame])
Not sure if it matters, but I have a Canon 40D.
Thanks,
D
