nikkor 90mm

Which tripod would work best with a Nikon D80 and these lenses?
I have the 18-200 Nikkor lens, and I am planning on getting a 90mm Tamron 2:8 macro lens as well as a 50mm 1:8 Nikkor lens. I enjoy shooting at low light without flashes, so I was wondering which tripod would handle the weight of all three of these lenses at different times?
(If you know of a small tripod as well, that’d be great!)
I don’t know what your budget is, so if this suggestion is too costly edit your Q.
This is a very good pod, so I’ve heard. http://www.freestylephoto.biz/55804-Manfrotto-Wilderness-Tripod-Kit-055WNB-Inc.-3221WN-Legs-and-804RC2?cat_id=2702
It’s advantage is the low level adapter. It’s a must if you shoot macro. You can get down to ground level and still use your tripod.
It’s supposed to support up to 13 lbs of equipment.
If you’re on a budget, this one: http://www.freestylephoto.biz/620510-Sunpak-Digipro-XLT-Heavy-Duty-Tripod-With-Twist-Leg-Locks?cat_id=2702 is apparently quite good, meaning that it’s not too flimsy and can handle 11 lbs of equipment.
There is no “best” tripod.
Just a few things to look for when your shopping for one. How much weight it can handle, is it sturdy (you don’t want the thing carping out on you and losing a leg in the middle of a shoot), how versatile it is (if it doesn’t reach much past a couple of feet…..well…), it’s weight and portability (if it’s heavy and cumbersome to carry around you’ll find you’ll never use it unless you use it specifically in a studio), the head of the tripod (you want an easy mount, but not one so easy that it can turn on you at any moment and have your equipment fall to the ground, and you want some versatility in the head so that you can maneuver your camera easily)
You might want to check out your local photo shop. See what they recommend. Often times these local guys have great deals on used equipment such as tripods.
