Perhaps this isn't the best place to put it but I purchased a DSLR camera solely for taking pictures of my dogs. I got a canon 450D and am looking into getting a tripod. But as its for doggie pics I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a tripod that is suitable enough to take out on walks?

hi, we also bought an slr for doggie pics, we use a tripod from argos, it only weighs one kilo so its not too heavy and it was cheap! only £15 but i just had a look at thier website and its on offer at 2 pound cheaper. dont get me wrong its not proffesional quality but its light and user friendly. hope that helps

Oh thanks for that I will take a look. Do you find that it is sturdy enough that it will not fall over if you happen to have a big lens on it?

you might want a UV lense protector, they are 10 - 20 pounds depending. It cuts most sun glare out of the pics and will stop the factory lense from scratching too - worth buying

i suppose it depends on how big a lens, our biggest is only an 800 and its plenty sturdy enough for that. also the legs can be adjusted to different legnths which is handy for uneven ground.

Thanks for this just ordered a new lens and UV filters

Think I will take a look at it - even if it doesn't work out it is still only £15
