Okay guys... After 2 solid years of service, my $40 Kodak tripod has died. I somehow managed to strip a screw in the head.
Anyways, rather than try to fix it, I might as well get a new one. This time, I would like to budget no more than $200 to buying it. I use a pretty small camera; a Canon Vixia HF-R300, so weight isn't much of a concern.
My main needs are something that is very tall. At least 6 feet (182.88cm) would be ideal. I often need to film a top down view, and I film on a 2 foot tall table. Another important thing is an easily removable quick mount. I record TTL style, and don't pause when taking off the camera. My old tripod required you to pull a leaver sideways, to an exact angle to pull it out. I want something where I pull a pin or something, and the mount slides out. A fluid head might be nice, but I don't know if that fits into this kind of budget.
Also keep in mind that I'm in the US, so make sure it's available here... I can't afford to ship a tripod in from Singapore.
Thanks for any help.
