EOS 250D Tripod Recommendations

I'm new to photography and I have the Canon EOS 250D...and I'm buying a Tri-pod...but I"m on a budget. I've heard the Manfrotto Compact Action and Advanced tri-pods are quite good at affordable prices. Could someone with a strong knowledge confirm that these tri-pods are worthy? THank you.

What is your budget? Is this for studio work? Travel?

It would probably be better to check out reviews of various tripods to which may suit your needs the best/most.

Thanks for taking the time to chat with me...and, I apologize for not providing more insights in my initial post.

No, I'm just a novice photographer who likes to get go out on the weekend...certainly not a professional using it in studios. Yes, I plan to take my EOS 250D on vacation/travel...but, again, just for my own enjoyment. I like taking pictures of landscape/architecture/scenary and my dogs and grandkids/

I'm more than a "point-and-shoot" but certainly no Ansel Adams! 😊

JMcCann,

I got a Geekoto X 25 Defender 75" tripod. It comes with its own carrying bag.

B&H sells it for $145.99.

I like mine.
