Go to walmart and pick up whatever they have. A good tripod is one that holds the camera completely still, and can hold the camera safely. That being said, find something solid for \<$40 and spend the savings on a remote.

just make sure it does what you want it to do … some tri’s can tilt sideways some have a crank to adujst height while some have the extended legs … you will want all of the options that you can get … if you dont have them one day you will wish you did
