Camera stand help

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. :)

thanks! Yes that was my plan. Fluid heads are the best. So you'd say the photopro S3 is alright?
 
Yeah id say its fine from quick glance it looks really robust and sturdy but I wouldn't do anything adventurous with it if its the only one you will have for a while. :)

I'll try. Sadly little shops are disappearing because they can't compete with the big stores

Proper fluid heads cost thousands though :/
 
Static shots are easy, any tripod will do just as long as you can vary the length of each leg individually. Panning is going to be more difficult, but can still be achieved with a cheap tripod by creating some resistance with the adjustment screws. You can "load" it up slowly, and get pretty smooth movement out of it. Not as good as the aforementioned true fluid-heads, but still pretty darn good. I handheld most of my stuff, or take static tripod shots. So I have no need for expensive stuff.
