As I'm into still life and portraits I've decided to head towards a tripod as my next accessory instead of another lens. I'm experimenting with the creative camera settings and lots of my photos are either blurred or have strange anomalies.
What I'm unsure of is manufacturers - who are the good ones and what one are best left alone?
My mum's hobby is video editing and she spent £150 on a second-hand one although with a video camera she wanted to make sure the picture was steady while panning, not something needed with a camera, although I know it's important to be able to move ever so slightly and have it stay there!
On a fair budget...
