I want to get a cheap tri-pod?

Question

I'm going to buy an Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8K Digital Camera, and I'm going to order a tri-pod with it.

Anyone got recommendations for one? Please be cheap. (not sure how much they are, but possible around 30-50?)

Also, what other accessories should I buy with this camera?

Thank you, I heard Wal-mart is having a sale so I'll go check it out.

Buy a cheap tripod and you'll have a cheap tripod. A flimsy, cheap tripod that will not give you the stability or use you want - and need.

Buy a Bogen or Slik or Velbon or Manfrotto.

Don't waste your money on something cheap and entrust your valuable camera on it.

Answer 4

you should go on ebay they have some pretty cheap tri-pod
or you should go to walmart. I usually go to frys to get those stuff because they have a lot of sales going on throughout the year.
