Help buying a tripod

[allendehl]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to find a nice tripod with no much to invest. Yes, I know its hard but at this time I have to do it this way or just wait till better times

I'm doing some craiglist digging and found these 2:

QSX 9500 - $65
RIPOD MANFROTTO 3046 W/ ROTATING HEAD 30/47 - $150

I'm just an amateur that loves photography and wants to take some nice shots. Are these good deals? Will they work for my Canon Rebel XS and a 75-300m lens for now?

Any advise will be appreciated!

Look up the Slik 700DX Pro, I love mine.

I've got the Slik 580DX and really like it. It has a very low minimum height which is great for macros and other things like pet portraits. Its also quite solid and stable.
