Get a Good Tripod!

A good tripod is 1) sturdy, 2) lightweight, 3) EASY to use, 4) adaptable to many environments.
I first bought an inexpensive tripod. It was awkward to use, which meant I didn't. Then I developed tennis elbow from hand-holding my camera all the time.
It was time to invest in a GOOD tripod. After much searching, I came upon my ideal tripod. After 3 years, I still love it.
Moral of the story: get a good tripod!
PS: My tripod is: Manfrotto 458B Neotec Pro Photo Tripod (Black)
