Need some help picking out my first tripod ever...
I DO NOT want to spend more than $50 bucks I realize that $50 is not that much, but I am looking for something that is very very basic and has a max load of 3lbs to 5lbs
Could use some experienced Photographers Advice +K

$50 bucks?  I just spent $900 but that was for a filming setup.  Dude I'd be checking Craigslist or Goodwill.

I don't even know if $50 will get you the cheapest tripod from Wal Mart...

If you can stretch that budget like $40, this tripod is GREAT for the price. http://www.amazon.com/Velbon-VideoMate-607-Heavy-Duty-Tripod-Case/dp/tags-on-product/B00004TYBM

Fuild Head, comes with case, super nice for price.

I only go on NS when I'm in school and therefore don't have a life. Or stuck at the airport.
