I'm looking for a general purpose tripod at a price point of $300 or less (I'm not necessarily looking to spend at the top of that range unless it's necessary). Mostly I film speakers standing at podiums, so I don't need anything amazing, but I'm looking to be able to more smoothly pan a crowd or follow the speaker up to the podium. Also, I'm sometimes on press risers that aren't super steady, so I need something that won't exacerbate those tremors.
Thanks,
Will
