Linda,

I can't advise you on which is the best tripod, but, I can tell you what will work. I have a Velbon 9000 which I bought at Wal Mart. It has quick release plates (I think it came with one and I ordered additional ones) which I keep attached to several of my cameras. It has all the adjustments I feel that I need including a leveling bubble.

I'm pretty sure you could find a better one but I can't figure out why I would want a better one. It's really a pretty simple concept. The quick release I think is essential, the adjustable legs and rotating this and that are a must.

I'm pretty sure I don't have micro fluid in my head, and until now I didn't mis it.
