>>3066226You definitely got a good deal, I just prefer to buy my stuff new, especially when it's something like a tripod/filter/etc.
>>3066234>Looks like one of those generic Chinese designs that people slap their logo onThat was my initial though. I was gonna get a tripod from AliExpress but thought maybe the deal I'd get there wouldn't be worth the shit quality I might get. I want to get a tripod that's solid and will last me a few years. But I guess that brand will be the same chinese shit no matter where I get it from.
>You could definitely find a lighter carbon fiber one with the same load rating, but IMO weight helps a tripodYeah, I don't want something extremely light that will fall over with strong winds.
>>3066235I looked up the exact same tripod on AliExpress and it's only $10 cheaper. Not really a big difference when I could go to B&H and pick it up myself.
>>3066235>Brand name isn't necessarily a thing in tripods. Like the cheap Manfrottos are cheap garbage. The mid-upper end ones are pretty good.Gotcha. See, I have very little knowledge about tripods. Last tripod I bought years ago was a $40 Velbon from B&H, but I definitely need something a bit more sturdy.
