Not a super impressive one mind you, but I needed a tri-pod for my point-n-shoot Canon SD780 for creating video-cast, so I wanted to get a decent one that would last.

I picked up the Manfrotto M-Y Tripod with Ball-Head (7322YB) (http://www.manfrotto.ca/product/0/7322YB/_/Compact_Tripod_wBall_Head%2C_New_Leg_Angle_Selecto rs_%26_Bag)

Future Shop had it for $119 but I saw it at Henry's on sale for $99. They didn't have stock, but I printed out the web page and brought it into Future Shop and they matched the price.

I used to have a really, really nice Manfrotto back in the day that was so rock solid. I always regret selling it.

This ones pretty basic, but it's so solid, the clasps are very sturdy. Has a very fluid ball head to position the camera almost 360º any which way, then securely locks in place.

I dig it. :)

Looks like a fine tripod to me. If it's not holding a ton of weight and you're not trying to use it in crazy wind storms or anything like that you don't need a super heavy duty one. As long as it hold the camera in place and doesn't wobble around you're golden.

You could have gotten price match + an additional 10% off ;) But you have to ask for it. I do that all the time between futureshop and bestbuy ... quite often one place will put an item on sale and the other doesn't so I always go to the one that's not on sale and get it for sale price -10% :D
