Amazon Basics Tripod

60-inch Stand Tripod  8.5/10

By


Ravelli Professional Stand Tripod
The Amazon Basics tripod is exactly that. A very basic tripod that will have no trouble getting most jobs done and it comes at a very cheap price. This is not going to compete with a full featured tripod on any day of the week, but it will be all an amateur photographer is going to need. Most importantly, it is lightweight. No budding photographer is going to lug around a 15 pound tripod if they really aren’t sure what situations are going to need one. There are two bubble levels on the tripod to ensure a level shot. This tripod is only available on amazon.com for around $25.99.
