I have the carbon model also 190, but I really like the smaller cousin, The smaller one with the pistal grip is too light duty, and cannot hold a heavy SLR with any serious glass, in fact, that is how my D700 fell into a river when the mechanism let go (400 dollars later, the D700 was as good as new). I don't like tripods that you have to twist the legs, but prefer the flip levers, just find it easier, but still tripods are a pain, I actually hand shoot quite a bit, when the light is enough, and most of the time can get sharp shots. I had a phase, where I was getting obsessive with sharpness, tripod, mirror up, delay, cable release, etc. Yes, I still do that, but not nearly as often.</blockquote>
