Everyone seems to rave about them in various reviews I have read I have a really lightweight tripod and a heavy weight job ........ looking for something cheap, sturdy and middle weight if you know what I mean .....

here's their website Red Snapper | Tripods

MO, big cigar in the avatar and 1D body and you are looking for cheap tripods? I am a big believer in you get what you pay for, saying that I have read a few reviews on the red fish tripod and it doesn't seem bad for money.
Just buy one as it is cheap and if it isn't any good for weight of your kit just sell it on here through classifieds.

Wondered when Id get dragged into the fray - thank you Mr Hyde. I have no experience of this tripod my Gittos carrys my gear no worries and I lumped round Ingleton in Feb all day long.

So how many thousands of pounds worth of kit do you want to put on a cheap (get what you pay for) Tripod......... I would think about it carefully......

[MarkOne]

Maybe start off with the Panasonic P&S and add weight gradually

I used a redsnapper for ages and have only just had a gitzo because I got one for the right price.It was sturdy enough for me I always use a tripod so used it in windy conditions etc and found it quite stable.For the money they are good

When I drove off with the tripod on the roof of my car recently I was glad it was a £20 Argos one when it hit the road at 60mph
