Tripod recommendation for groundstation

[Flangecrank]

Hi,

Slowly building my groundstation and looking for a cheap but good tripod to use.

Budget of £50 max - Will be fitting my Immersion Duo5800 and ReadymadeRC wooden Pan\Tilt kit.

Anyone with similar kit reccomend one?

Thanks,

John

I got a used Velbon D-700 of ebay for £21 its like new and a very very good tripod for our use. Can have a HUGE footprint for windy days and most people have commented on how good it is. second hand is your friend for these. The camera handle i jsut removed.

And for "screw tent anchor" . I'm going to stick it in the ground and tie the tripod to it by the hook that hangs down. Should be pretty solid!
