Is there anyone around here who is still using his first tripod?
yeah, i bought my first tripod at a yard sale around 20 years ago; i think i paid $10
don't even know the brand since the legs have been wrapped in duct tape since i bought it, but at least one pro photographer has offered to buy it on sight; it's a heavy, basic pan-tilt model but it is tall and strong; it does fine with my heaviest lens (SMC-M 85-210)
recently i found a Slik 300dx for $9 at a thrift store; it is more flexible, easier to use, a little lighter, and not as tall, but it looks like it will last forever too (at my very modest rate of tripod use)
