... for someone who wants to use the tripod for a video camera (Canon Elura) and mostly indoors with a still camera (Canon XTi). I want to get something good, sturdy, and fluid. I like the idea of ball heads, but they seem to make more sense for still cameras and little sense for video. I can't afford that much right now, but I like the idea of getting nicer equipment that I can grow with, like by getting a new head as my needs change/grow. I've really never used a tripod before, and I've been very unimpressed with the ones at my local Ritz. (They seemed a bit like crap.)
I don't think I could really justify going above $200 at this point. What do the wise ones think of something like this?
