Seriously - I thought a tripod would be a fairly cheap buy. After visiting Garth's links to start with I am discouraged. I am sure you are all right that they are worth it though. I wonder if the kids would let me take the trampoline back?

This isnt a brand anyone has mentioned so far - but check out this on ebay -
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...862072525&rd=1
I just bought myself a tripod for $4. Umm- there was one minute left and I got all excited. I hardly read the description. I am sure its a cheapy and I will need another....freakin Ebay fever. I need a 12-step program.
Edit -
anyone know the standard weight of a Rebel? Stepping on and off the scale doesnt work well. There are no camera shops near me - and if I have to go shopping again in person soon I will collapse.

Thanks Marvin!
Could you just hang here online for a few more hours in case I have any other questions? That goes for Garth & Beth too - my own personal advisors. This forum does indeed rock.

Wow, Beth, I think Dracula could sleep in this box in your basement after you take out the easel!

Linda see how good you are! I was thinking a few children - well now that I see it again, maybe a spouse!
Kim the rebel really runs into tripod problems once you put the long lens on, then it is totally out of balance. I think most of the tripods and ball heads above accomodate at least 15 lbs.

Congratulations Beth!
That's a nice simple portrait. Is it done? I kind of like it tentative at the bottom like that.
