I'm looking at tripods..what do you guys think of this:
Amazon.com: AmazonBasics 70-inch Adjustable Pistol Grip Head Tripod: Camera & Photo There are not many reviews yet for this product, which I think is relatively new. I also looked at monfrotto tripods, but they can get high in price for a good setup. I'm just an amateur, and my gear does not get abused much.

The thing that pops out in my mind can be either very good or very bad. The quick-release latches on the legs can be a very good thing, allowing quick adjustability, but they can also be a very bad thing if they don't hold tightly. $80 is a relatively cheap investment if it works well. I paid almost that much for my ball head only. The reviews all look pretty good. *Warning: If you do buy it, watch those rubber feet. Anything like that tends to fall off. I've got one on my monopod and I've "lost" the dumb thing at least three times. Had to wander around in my yard for about a half and hour before I finally found it.

I'd stick to Manfrotto or Vanguard. Their less expensive travel ones with a ball head are better choices. I would look into used tripods of those brands if you don't want to spend a ton. The better tripods are also easier to sell if you plan to upgrade later.

Continuing with the F1 theme, our local Z car club recently had our Xmas party at Griot's Garage, their showroom had their vintage F1 cars out:

Lol, it just takes some getting use to. They're really not that different. Just a few more knobs and buttons on the outside instead of having to go through the menus. I have the same camera, so feel free to ask about anything.

What's there to learn?
Put it on M, pick an ISO, choose the correct aperture and shutter speed. How hard can it be?
