I'll stop by tomorrow to check some out. What should I look for in a tripod? I know these aren't the best ones but what should I be looking out for when picking out one?

Just be careful with the cranks. Those things tend to break easily.

Will do, I'll probably end up getting a couple of them. When you said be careful with the cranks, whats the most common way they break? From tripod tipping over or just abusing them?

Mine broke when I was trying to raise the head. It just snapped...I wasn't forcing it. I did have my camera attached though, so maybe that extra weight was enough to do it. You get what you pay for. I broke 2 of them so I bought a proper tripod after that.

Oh and before I go out to pick it up. For taking pictures of cars, which would be better? Like in general should I get the one that can be set at the highest height or would all be about the same. Because the ones they have are 49",60", and 61". Should I go for the 61" one?

just picked up this tripod:
http://www.shopxscargo.com/product_c...ry=Accessories
$19.77 as listed on the site. Not bad, but definitely a cheap one. I can definitely see the crank breaking off, so I'm going to see if theres a way I can buy a different metal crank or something stronger at least.

Heres the tripod:
And, I really want to figure out a way to strengthen this crank or find a stronger one. It's held in by a pin so I may be able to find something else.

. It's an HP Photosmart M517 and it feels pretty cheap and imo it is but I think it does the job well. I'm looking to get a full sized tripod from London Drugs only because I can get a discount. I went in and looked at one and later went on the site and found a few others. I need help picking, I don't know whats good and whats bad so any info is awesome! Here are the ones I'm considering. I'm listing them in the order I'm thinking of getting.
