I'm looking for my first tripod for my slr. DFi would love for it to be at least like 6 feet tall or something, but I just want something to hold the camera steady for fireworks and night shots. I'd also like to not spend a whole lot on it.

thanks

there is a whole thread on here, just search under tripod, official, of tmip

we have taken to referring to it as the official tripod of the magic in pixels, as many of us have this one or it's predecessor

63" extended, to hit 6 foot your going to end up with a pretty hefty folded length, not to mention a much larger footprint in a crowd /main street fireworks situation, if you add on the manfrotto pistol grip most of us use, your'e pretty close to the 6 feet
 
I was looking at the Adorama Flashpoint tripods. ; Does anyone have experience with them? ; Which Manfrotto grip do you have Gary?
 
I ended up getting a Manfrotto 190CXPRO3 with a Manfrotto 486RC2 ball head. ; I remembered to use the B & H banner and can't wait they get here! ; It's not as small as the Luxi, but at 3.8 pounds it shouldn't be too hard to lug it around the park.
