re: Know of any good tripod stands for under 250 bucks?

I have a summit tripod, but it makes for a difficult shot. I have to keep a pillow with me to allow me to rest my gun while shooting. It's either that or shoot free handed. I wouldn't recommend it for that reason, but other than that it has held up very well for 4 years. It is very easy to put up and take down as well.
