Experienced landscape and wildlife photographers know that the tripod is the #1 most essential piece of gear. Although most photographers know how important a tripod is, far too many photographers foolishly put off the purchase of a professional tripod for years and instead buy 5 junkers before finally choosing to buy something of good quality. Once you buy a professional tripod, you’ll be amazed at the difference in sharpness of your images. Trust me… the tripod is essential!
However, not every photographer needs an expensive tripod. For example, when I shoot portrait photography, I rarely shoot on a tripod. Other than portraiture, I use a tripod 100% of the time.

This is a great tripod because of price and quality. It's semi-stable and will do you well for the first year of intense tripod use. The recommended ball head for this isn't as strong for bigger cameras and lenses. Entry-level cameras will do great on this tripod!

This is, by far, the best tripod I’ve used that costs anything near this price point. At $187, this tripod is an absolute steal! It’s tall, very sturdy, and durable. If you’re ready for a professional tripod, then this one has my whole-hearted recommendation

For photographers, the Gitzo GT2540F is like a Ferrari. No tripod could dream of comparing to this beautiful piece of machinery. You’ll have to rob a bank to pay for it, but you’ll thank yourself for years to come. It is light weight, solid as a rock, durable, and easy to use.

This is the suggested piece for the Manfrotto tripod above, but this will be where you see the weight of your camera become an issue. Again, entry-level cameras with kit lenses will do great with this and will last you a long time. At least as long as you have your camera.

This is an INCREDIBLE ball head for the price. I used this ball head with a 600mm lens and it did a great job without any creep. I have also did exposures of several hours for night photography and still saw no creep. You will not find any ballhead that can compete with this piece of awesome.

If you have the money to spend on the best ball head that money can buy, then you’ll want something from a company called Really Right Stuff. Their gear is top notch. For $500, it's fantastic!
