I'm looking to get a tripod for my Canon 60d to use mainly for video, and i'm leaning towards the Pearstone VT-2100 Fluid Head Video Tripod. Would this be a good choice, considering my budget is $70 or less?

70 dollars will get you shit, sorry bud. A decent tripod would be the manfrotto 701 kit coming in at like $210 or something.

Not true.

You can buy a Weifeng 717AH fluid head for 70, and then some cheaper legs if you want. Or get the whole 717 kit for like 150.

But yea hes right you cant get shit for 70.
