indisliderMINI + tripod?
What would be an appropriate tripod for a t2i with an attached battery grip mounted on an indisliderMINI? My budget is $100, I'm a broke fella.

In your case, probably a used one. I'd check ebay or Craig's List for a deal, but try to get something with a fluid head on it if possible.

I was able to find this on craigs: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/480309-REG/Manfrotto_190XPROB_804RC2_190XPROB_Tripod_Legs_Black.htmlit's gotten pretty good reviews on bh, but does anyone know how it is with the indislider?

Eh, I don't know about that one. Even the IndieSLIDER mini is going to need a pretty substantial head to stay steady. I use mine all the time on an old Bogen 501 head, it's pretty solid, and I still get a bit of play particularly at the end of the slider.
The head on that one you linked to doesn't look like it would hold the slider steady at all. |

What if I just attach the indislider to the legs, and the head onto the indislider?

Yeah, those sticks would probably be fine.

Alright, thank you for your reply. Oh, and I keep hearing about this rubber band trick to smoothen out indislider, but what exactly is the trick?

You put a rubber band around the main puck, and use that to pull the slider. It smooths it out so well.
