I bought a manfrotto tripod for about $60 and absolutely love it. Its sturdy and lightweight. Only downside is its a little short:

Here's the tripod I have. I think it's fine for amateur stuff!
Most people I know use Flickr to host their photos. I also use Imgur for casual uploads as well since imgur is RES compatible.
Oh yea, sorry. I'm sure the Aussie links aren't of much help to you.
Found a couple of really decent Manfrotto tripods on there - 1 and 2
I think the Vanguard ones around that price are fairly cheap plastics but this one looks decent.
Thanks! I will look into it the Rangers.
Btw, did you happen to come across this Manfrotto compact while you were doing your research? If so, what were your thoughts?

I use this Manfrotto, and have shot the Northern Lights successfully on my multiple trips there. My worry for your use is the longer lenses. But honestly, this weighs like two pounds, packs well, and if it's windy I hang a weight from the center. Maybe look at a step up from the one I use if you are looking at using heavier lenses (I shoot mirrorless, so this model is perfect for me). Good luck!
Great tripod. I love the grip and the quick release. Here it is on Amazon:

Tripods: portability vs. stability?
I just got as a gift a Manfroto Compact Action Tripod while on Amazon Prime Day I ordered the Amazon Basics Tripod
Basically my question is, we're going out west for a trip to the national parks in Utah. The Manfroto is noticeably smaller & lighter, but the last segment on its legs seem flimsy, but with my camera on it (Canon T2i) it seems stable. The Amazon Basics, is heavier and bigger, but more stable.
My goal for these are for landscape and star shooting. Realistically its probable, I'll only use them for the stars and not bring them on our day hikes. I'd appreciate any comments or opinions on one vs. the other. Thanks.
