Hello folks.

Got a cheapo tripod, but it is a bit wobbly. Thinking of getting something
a bit more sturdy. Hopefully one that will serve for macro stuff as well
(upside down).

A quick glance at Amazon and I see names like Xcsource and Caseflex in the
mid-range price-wise, with the cheaper end dominated by Hama.

I am *not* a serious photographer, but I'd like to dedicate more time to
photography and I like the idea of taking photos that are actually
focussed on something.

Recommendations?


Looking at this one:

That

looks reasonable with the caveat that ultimately a tripod needs to
deliver stability for the load it will bear. Sometimes what appears to
be a bargain is not up to the job. The tripod you are showing has a
design similar to some that I have seen from MePhoto which has a range
of lightweight travel tripods in aluminum or carbonfiber at different
price points and available from Amazon.

Then Oben has a new travel tripod which might suit your purpose.
