Cheap Tripod

johnmcdnl

I'm looking to get a cheap tripod to help with a few landscape and low light shots..
Where's the best place to get a pretty cheap one in Dublin or online - I've seen a few hama star 61, star62s on amazon but when p&p is added in the price ends up at almost 40 euro which is way above my budget...

Lidl Cheapo
I've seen this one which is in store in LIDL on Monday so I may take a look at this one

The postage makes this way too expensive but it'd be ideal if I could get it cheap somewhere
I'll only have very limited use for a tripod so I really don't want to splash out too much but at the same time I don't want to get a dud basically

Does anyone have any idea where I could look...

Thanks

What sort of camera/lens are you planning to put on it?

It'll only be a bridge camera so weight and big lens aren't a problem - that's why I want the cheapest one I can get

Can't get it posted to Ireland as it's too heavy to post to my destination :mad:

Drat... I had logged on, put the 61 in my basket and attempted checkout without issue earlier in order to check this. I just re-tried and I got the old MyMemory "it's too heavy" notification.

They do them on 7DayShop as well but you'll have to add £5.95 for postage -

61 - £12.35

Is it worth my while looking round the photography shops in Dublin or is it only high quality stuff you'd get in them shops that'd be way outta my price range..

I'll be up there some day next week and it'd be handy to just pick it up in a shop and see it before buying even it's a wee bit more expensive...

youllneverknow

i got one for 2 euro in the 2 euro shop in ashbourne. its less then a foot in height and maybe a foot with the legs extended.
its similar to the lidil cheap one but much smaller
