@kathrynadebayo Worth getting a fluid head for a tripod too. The Manfrotto MVH500AH Pro Fluid Video Tripod Head with with an acratech levelling base has saved me so much time levelling shots (built in spirit level) and shooting overhead for smaller works. I have a Manfrotto 190GO! carbon fibre tripod. I like to travel light when out shooting. But if you're not travelling with it, an aluminium one will do. I like this one because I can shoot at 90 degrees with it, as the central column has two positions.

This is what I watched to choose my kit, not too expensive either VIDEO about Fluid Head best setup by Hudson Henry
