Tripods are made out of a plethora of materials, such as aluminum, carbon fiber, plastic, basalt fiber, and steel.
The right make of a tripod really depends on what it will be used for.Will they be travelling or even hiking with it? If they are, keep in mind that carbon fiber tripods are very lightweight.
