Help with Finding a Tripod?
I am in need of a tripod that can easily be used in hiking adventures. I also can't afford anything above $100. I came across the Trekpod II which seems to be a perfect fit. It can be used as a monopod, tripod, and hiking stick. It is under $100 and has a lifetime warranty.
I'm just wondering if anybody has any experience using a trekpod. I'm also questioning whether or not it will hold my camera, a Canon EOS Rebel XT with a 55-250mm lens. I am welcoming any opinions and/or suggestions about purchasing a decent quality, low budget, tripod that can be used for nature and wildlife photography. Thank you in advance :)

I haven't tried the Trekpod, but looking at the design, I think that it would not be very steady on rough terrain or in a wind.
The Slik Sprint Pro II or the Slik Sprint Mini II are some good possible choices. They are not very heavy, and they are good quality and can fit your budget. The Mini should fit any pack, but its height is sort of barely adequate. The Pro should fit a medium pack.
According to specifications here

it collapses to 18.5" (47.0cm).
Measure the pack you expect to use.
