I take pictures for my entertainment, to capture our lives, to document events and to annoy my family! I love to scrapbook, too! :lol: I need to know everyone's opinion on tripods, I'm sick of having cheap ones that don't work. I want a head that will turn from vertical to horizontal too. Please help!

welcome to AP. Enjoy the site and show us some photos. With tripods you get what you pay for. Plan to spend $250 -$500 for something that will do what you want and be steady and stable. Look at the brand names like Manfrotto!

Nope, sorry . . . we don't allow scrapbookers on here. Only photo type personage, so off you go . . . heheh.
Welcome onboard and lets see some pics please.
Spend on a good tripod and you'll be set for a long time. I bought cheap and it drives me crazy. Can never get it settled or exactly right.
