There's a few others as well...

Hi, I'm looking at these cheap tripods on ebay for around a £10, they seem to be selling well does anyone have any experience?
I am looking for something light, cheap & travel friendly, I have a big Velbon but it doesn't leave the house due to size, weight & rather sore edges!
I really do not wish to spend £100+ on a Manfrotto

Thanks!

Great link, cheers!

All great, but number 2 for me easily stands out.

LOL - damn I did run through the previous comps but must have missed this - oh well at least it was a while back

The DSLR market is huge. You may think Canikon have it sewn up, but that's just not how it works.

This can only be a good thing. Ricoh know they have bought a brand with history and pedigree, and I am sure they will give the marketing a better shot than Hoya could be bothered with.

I think models will increase and prices will stay level or in fact go down...

I've owned the 10-20 and I currently own the 8-16. i had good copies and can say they are excellent to have. They open another dimension of angles you really appreciate, (if of course its dimension want to be in!).

The downside I would mention is consider the kit you want to carry. Bothe the Sigma's are heavy, (the 8-16 is just as long as any of my telephotos).

If you prefer a small kit, e.g walking around with a 16-45 (which is quite light) and a 55-300 or 50-200, then picking up one of these may give you a dilemma as you will may not want to leave it at home!

LOL - at least that being positive!

These stain post just keeping coming - oh well helps me wait for another K5 price drop anyway

Old non-WR version is on ebay for around £360

I was tipped off on here about the Currys sale stock clearance way back - feeling really lucky now

Hoho - hey it was early for a Sunday
