[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 741438, member: 48483"] I bought a 3LT "Punks" tripod last year. It has a form of that airhead ball-head, without the "visible" feature and a pan adjust. The tripod is nice. It is a 4-segment carbon fiber leg design. It is light and steady for it's weight. I don't think I will choose it for my Sigma 150-600mm lens, but everything else I have is fair game to use on it. I use a heavier tripod and ball-head for the big lens. The airhead is Arca-Swiss compatible and works with my L-brackets. The knob does not have a limiter adjust, so you can twist the knob and fully loosen the ball to make the camera flop if not mindful about that. My Sirui K-40 head has the limiter and it is normally set to leave some resistance when unscrewed so the rig won't be prone to flop. Try to get a sale price on the 3LT as I think they are normally overpriced for what they are. Of course I say the same for Peak Design, but I still use their anchor-link system. There is a removable monopod conversion feature, but I will never use it.I have a Vanguard monopod already that is better and does not require the teardown of the tripod. And I use a tilt-only head on my monopod. [/QUOTE]
