I've Got It
I'm looking for a stand to put my camera on and been to shops etc. I have found the rollei photopro s3 and it looks alright but I can't really find any reviews of it on the internet. Do any of you guys have this stand? If so, is it good? And would you recommend another one?

Thanks in advance

You mean a tripod right? Budget? Can't really go wrong with Manfrotto.

Yes sorry that's what I meant. I wouldn't spend over 100 euros for now. I just need a good cheaper one. I'll be getting a beter one maybe next year or so. I think we have Manfrotto tripods at school.

They're good but can be pretty expensive. What are you going to use the tripod? What camera is going on it?

Yeah saw one on amazon for 200 dollars. I'll be using it for facecam videos and for school assignment videos I have to make so I'll be taking it outside as well. Camera: Nikon D3200

Yea and that's a cheap one..
If you don't need to do any camera pans, I have this one; http://www.manfrotto.com/product/24...4355.0/MKCOMPACTACN-BK/_/Compact_Action_Black
Pretty sturdy, lightweight, holds my 600D very well and cosrt under 100. Wouldn't trust it to hold up in wind or anything but it does a good job

What's a pan? I does need to have a max hight of atleast 181 cm btw

Have a look at camera movement on Google, a few good articles about it :)
The Manfrotto is 151 cm iirc, why do you need so much height?

So I can film things from on top as well. Perspectives from which we don't experience ourselves (like for instance top view or camera in a basket) in video tends to keep people more interested. 151 sounds alright as well tbh. The one I was talking about in my first post is 141cm max
 
If you're going to be getting another tripod i wouldn't spend and overly big amount of money on it, however that saying the tripod you mentioned is a really robust tripod and will last a lot of years, personally if i was you i would maybe thing about buying a cheap one now and save up for a fluid head tripod they have a lot smoother motion when actually rotating the head. hope this helps. :)
