Hello. I am a beginner and am looking to buy a tripod. What should I be looking for in a tripod? I plan to take skateboarding pictures and perhaps do some stop motion . I have a nikon d90. Can anyone point me in the right direction? thanks!

My standard tripod recommendation is the Bogen/Manfrotto 190XPROB legs or 055XPROB legs with the Bogen/Manfrotto 486RC2 compact ball head or 488RC2 midi ball head, but either combination will run you between $175 to $275.Id like to spend less then $100 for sure...but I have no idea what they cost haha..
I choose #1. Strong & sturdy and #3. Low Price
Good recommendation!My standard tripod recommendation is the Bogen/Manfrotto 190XPROB legs
Welcome to the forum.
When it comes to tripods, there are three main characteristics;
#1. Strong & sturdy
#2. Light weight
#3. Low Price
You only get to pick two of the three.
