>>3482067I use that exact tripod in your picture when I don't want to take a bag or I just need something to get my camera off the ground cause it fits in a pocket and weighs nothing
Great piece of kit but obviously not going to stand up to wind or water or anything a good tripod would
>$15 tripod for a month long motorcycle tour?Yes, you'll want something that can be thrown around and is reliable
You always want at least one expensive, good workhorse that does 90% of your stuff, beyond that you'll eventually get at least another tripod or two in your photography life
>>3482096>>Takes $300-$3000 body+lens and puts on $15 tripod>>Surprised when has to replace $300-$3000 body+lens because $15 tripod failedThe only lens I ever ruined was on the most expensive tripod I owned- it was down to human error as most mistakes are, good or shit tripod regardless.
