DynaTran AT-6703 with the AT-6703SB ball grip head..Really don't care for the pistol grip head but for $50 shipped off of ebay, can't go wrong..:)

[QUOTE=speedaddict;75517]sweet, what kind of lense are you using?  I wanna get into photography but i'm scared I'll spend all my money[/QUOTE]

For these pics, I was using all three lenses. 18-55 (walk around), 50mm close up pics/portraits), 70-300 (telephoto)

I'm just getting in to the hobby and wasting money..The REAL lenses are the big ticket item, mines are cheapys.. 


Heres the breakdown on my equipment..Nothing special, just a beginners setup..

Lens:

Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II/
Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 

The rest of my gear:

Digital Rebel XT/350d
BG-E3 Grip
Canon Speedlite 430EX 
DynaTran AT-6703 w/ AT-6703SB

Still saving for:

Sigma 17-70 F2.8-4.5 
70-200f/2.8 IS

Get into the hobby, you wont regret it..

PLUs a picture is worth a thousands words....if taken proplery...

my bro got a d200 with a 18mm-200mm i think lense... i freakin love that thing. really makes me want to get into photography, or just get one for taking random pictures.

Spend your money on a good one..Don't cheap out on them..You'll notice the difference..Do your reasearch..I was luck to get this one for $50 on flea bay..

I have a few Manfroto tripods and a monopod that I've used mostly for shooting video, but also have a small Kodak one for traveling that I don't mind getting beat up.  The Manfroto's are my favorites..but I have broken a few, so they aren't indestructible...then again I go and do some of the craziest stuff with them..so it goes with the territory.  I have bet my life on them though...seriously.  I was up in the mountains shooting Dai drifting the pass and it was the only thing keeping me from falling a few hundred feet into a ravine.  You know the saying "anything to get the shot".  I look back on a lot of the crazy stuff I did and think wow..I got REALLY lucky.
