recommendation for a tripod, please!

Hi there to any budding photography peeps! I have recently been attending a Digital Photography course, which I am enjoying - but would really like to know what tripod I should buy. Bearing in mind, that I have always loved taking photographs,( and in the main, have been happy with my point and click efforts), but now I should like to concentrate a little more on the technical side of it (...slightly..) so would like to hear what might be a good one to have. (I don't plan on taking it on hikes etc., so don't require a lightweight one) There are so many to chose from, and after trawling through hundreds of sites looking for recommendations I am still none the wiser. So, if anyone could help me, I would really appreciate a pointer in the right direction. Cheers *J* [IMG]http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/photosmile.gif[/IMG]

I would also recommend a look in Hertford Cameras. If you think you may be carrying the tripod any distance give serious consideration to its weight and collapsed size.

I use a Manfrotto 190 tripod, with an 804RC2 head. The combination is stable, easy to use, reliable and cost me about £130. I bought mine from Digital Depot in Stevenage a few years ago, but Hertford Cameras will have them, or something similar, in stock.
