<p>I'm new to photography and I was looking to buy a tripod. Not an insanely expensive one for now, just a beginner's. I have a Nikon D40 camera (not sure if that matters, honestly) and I was on amazon looking for a good tripod and I came across this one that seemed to be rated pretty well.<br> http://www.amazon.com/Ravelli-APLT4-61-inch-Weight-Aluminum/dp/B004ZGLM5W/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1396816172&sr=1-5&keywords=tripod<br> Is this a good tripod to buy/any recommendations? Thanks in advance!!</p>
