   I am looking for a tripod suggestion for my  DCR VX2000 Sony.  I need something smooth for pan and tilt shots.  As well as lightweight..I am only 5'2 and not very strong :)

   Is there a decent tripod out there for around $250???

   I mostly need it for weddings.  I move around a lot when I am shooting so it has to be easily portable.

    

   Thanks in advance.

    oc6088,

   I was in your same situation about a year ago. Looking for a decent tripod, but not wanting to spend $500.00+ dollars on a Bogen or Manfrotto.

   I ended up with this:

   http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/243272-REG/Davis_Sanford_PROVISTA7518B_Pro_Vista_Tripod_with.html

   It's a great, affordable tripod. It has a decent fluid head that allows for very smooth pans and tilts.

   I've used a lot of cheaper and more expensive tripods, but this one is a great bang for your buck. Just read the reviews on the B&H site and you'll learn alot about this great tripod.

   I just purchased a second and could'nt be happier.

   The only thing to watch out for: the head is made of aluminum and the tightening screws can strip the aluminum threads if you tighten too harshly.

   Happy shopping!

   It's great for the price.
