Looking for tripod recommendations for my OM-1 Mark II. Mostly landscape photography. Budget is around $300. Any suggestions?

Been happy with my Peak Design Travel Tripod (carbon fiber). Had it for 3 years, works well with my gear, and no complaints so far. A bit over your budget though, around $350.

For landscape with the OM-1 Mark II, torsional rigidity is key. Consider carbon fiber for vibration damping. Ensure the tripod's load capacity exceeds your setup by at least 2x for stability – dynamic loads can surprise you. Benro offers options; verify compliance with ISO 1222.

Skip the carbon fiber hype for now. For landscape, focus on stability. I've been happy with my older Manfrotto aluminum tripod for years; still rock solid. Save some cash and get a decent ball head within your budget. Check used markets – you might find a $150 gem that works just as well.

Be careful! Ensure any used tripod (e.g., Manfrotto) has undamaged leg locks. Check weight rating.
