Need a Tripod around $100

[JR Productions]

the only input i can give is that i highly recommend Velbon. The tripod i use is a Velbon that my dad bought and used in the 70's-80's. it's still very sturdy and doesn't have any problems with it now

I too am using a Velbon from the 70's that my dad bought up in Alaska. This thing is a Beast. Doesn't move a mm when messing with it for slow shutter night shots. Its a little pitted in the aluminum and beat up but it will do til I bite the bullet on a $250 damn tripod!!!

Manfrotto - 56.3" Tripod - 7301YB-BB

This is the one I use... Granted, I'm no pro and I use it only on the rare occasion, but I haven't had any issues with it.
