>>3463101Expanding further on this point, its perfectly fine to buy a cheap APS-C camera and a nice full frame lens zoom lens.
For example the EF 70-300mm IS USM is a much better investment than the similarly priced EF-S 18–200mm.
The only lenses you would buy specifically for crop cameras are wide angle 10-18mm everything else your better off getting full frame
Moving on to tripods I have seen quite a few recommendations for this Rangers 55" it can basically do everything including inversion and converting to monopod and seems well built overall for 80$ I'm probably going to get one.
