Preferred tripod for a DSLR

[L.B. LaForce]

Manfrotto or Vanguard makes a solid tripod. You can't go wrong. I currently have this: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/666428-REG/Vanguard_ALTA_264AP_Alta_264AP_Aluminum_Alloy.html

I have a Bencher Majestic Series 6500 with a Slik head ... It stands up to almost anything wind wise. You cannot go wrong with Manfrotto however.
