    I am looking for a good camera tripod under $50 so I can film out of ground blinds and shooting houses.
    Any suggestions?

    Honestly, your probably not going to get a response because there's really no such thing. You need a quality tripod and some type of fluid head to get smooth pans and tilts. That's something you just can't get for $50.00.

    Here's a link to something that will get the job done, and is about as cheap as you will find something that is decent for video work. It weighs a ton and is a real pain in the but to haul around, but it's stable and has a decent enough fluid head. I have one that I will use on occasion, I just don't like to have to transport it around too much.

    Skywalker is right. Good video tripod and $50 don't belong in the same sentence. hard to find any tripod alone for $50, let along a workable fluid head.

    Pay a buddy to operate a camera....bout only way you may find a camera 'tri-pod' for $50 that is great. I'll be honest my tripod I use doesn't have the greatest head and if I film out of a blind I better keep panning to a minimum...but I didn't pay much over $50 (think it was like $70)
