For a beginner with a Nikon D3200 would the above be OK. Someone said a DLSR on its side slips.
I would always suggest getting the sturdiest tripod that you can afford. People who buy “cheap” usually end up disappointed with their tripods & end up buying again. As the D3200 is a lightweight camera, it may not “slip” or drift when turned on it’s side, but if the tripod is too light, it could possibly topple in a strong wind etc.
I was one of those people Miki is talking about, went out a bought a cheap tripod not long after getting my DSRL. I grow out of it after about a week, not strong enough at all for what I wanted it for. I ended up saving for a while and buying a decent Manfrotto tripod, I still have to this day and regret ever buying the other one.

Agree with the comments above.
Check out Redsnapper tripods, very reasonable priced and very good.

Manfrotto, Slik, and Giotto are all excellent makes, expect to pay around
€100 + for a decent one. You may be lucky and get a second hand one but in
My experience people tend to keep the good ones.I agree with all of the above comments. A cheap and lightweight tripod wont break the bank but it will break your heart and potentially your camera in the event of a strong wind
Like Shutterbug said Manfrotto, Slik, and Giotto tripods are not too expensive and they are trustworthy.
In the long run investing in a good tripod will pay for iteself

100 EU well spent.
