set ur cam to macro mode and find the closest distance u can focus on the spider...u will need to do some trial error..

set the camera to manual focus and use dial to change focus while keeping the camera still. These cams have contrast based AF and spider webs are translucent! very little difference in contrast so AF fails

my ESPOD 203 AP is very similar to what u r thinking.....its good and light...I got it for 3200 ...later they increased the price by 1k

but I got a very irritating issue with its head....even when locked totally it moves upto 20 degree...I mean if we want to lock it at a single position so that it doenst move at all then its not possible...maybe its coz its a pan head...but due to this I found it difficult to take multi exposure shots coz if u touch the DSLR the head will move slightly :( :(

I think benro is better with ball head...but it carry only 2kg

@sujoyp so wont the pan head differ on the Espod 204 ? I ordered the Espod plus 204 from tradus.in . Buy Online Vanguard Espod Plus 204AP Tripod. Shop from tradus.com CAA0000004760867 . got it for Rs. 5135 with RECHARGE10 coupon .

One more doubt , is this shutter release good ? : Canon Generic Wireless IR Remote Control for SLR Cameras / Digital Cameras | eBay or a wired one is better ?

just hope its dont have the same pan head as mine...its just not good for multiexposure

and the IR shutter release button looks fine...wired is more reliable but then u have to set the wire everytime

@theserpent its done using ND filters on lenses....its like use f11 but to reduce the shutter speed at daytime use ND8 filter soo that it produces smooth water effect

Prashant,
IQ is good.

Serpent,
You can get the dream like water flow by using long exposure. But if you want to try that in bright day light everything will be over exposed. You can try long exposure and get dream like water flow where the light is very little.

@nac thanks

@serpent You can get long exposure of water in evening. Use manual mode and keep the exposure compensation bar just below normal (see red box in image below) to get the perfect shot
