What Tripod(s) Do You Own?

I Love YTtalk
I was wondering what you all have for tripods, I am waiting on my new one arriving at the moment and I currently have a Beike tripod, this one here although it has needed replacing for a while as one of the legs is broken:

It has lasted me quite a while but not as long as I had hoped for.

I also have one of these which has come in handy doing desktop recordings even though outdoors it is pretty much useless:

Share yours and if you dont have one, what do you use as one? :D
 
I'm not sure of the model types but I have a Vivitar one and a Hamma one, which happens to now have a broken handle which I'll probably be finding at the back of my desk in a few months time :p
 
I just use a little gorillapod as I only have a little camcorder and find it easier to be able to attach it to bits of furniture in my room. When I get a decent camera and a bit more space I will get a proper tripod.
 
I don't have one yet, but I'm thinking of getting one of those flexible spider tripods for my Canon Ixus.

I figure it would be ok for stabilizing the camera indoors for a webcam type of use and maybe outdoors too where the surface isn't going to be flat:

This is a fully alaminuim Tripod and is int he family for already 10 years... made in japan and did cost around 200 euro back then.. i hope this proves to people that you should buy quality of cheapo incase they break :) i can still throw this down th e stairs or against a car and it wont break.

For me info just reply :)[DOUBLEPOST=1385314691,1385314588][/DOUBLEPOST]

Heres the head and legs I am getting:



and the head:



Mind you I am getting them both off of ebay so they arent as expensive as those links. The heads not ideal for video so I plan on getting a video head eventually.

ye, your tripod is good :) people need to rememer betweeon alaminium... that there is a soft and hard. This wont break within the next years and saves you time incase it would break ( which it wont) :)

Thats why I am willing to invest in this one, I have read people having the same model for fifteen years and its still working flawlessly, the Beike one I bought broke within two years and cost around £80-90, I would rather invest quite a bit and have it last than have to buy one every so often and have it all add up.
