My Camera: D300 & D200

yeah tripods are spendy. Dont go cheap. I just about dropped my camera when shooting the moon. Was using it, had it down tight, and it just gave out on me. Had it tilted up at a 60 degree angle or so, and it was just too heavy for the tripod and the mount gave out and it just started sliding down fast; mount stripped. And that was just with the 70-200 and 2x TC on it. SO yeah, get a decent one, or dont get one at all IMO.
