Davis and Sanford ProVista 7518 Tripod

Thanks to Chris Hunter on the Frugal Filmmaker Group on Facebook for posting that this tripod and fluid head set was on sale at B&H Photo for a paltry $109. It's not the smoothest nor best tripod around but with a max capacity of 18 pounds , built in fluid head and 10 year warranty you can't go far wrong with this at this price.
