[QUOTE="Ad B, post: 509487, member: 37491"] Hi, After some try outs, I finally could buy a Sirui N-3204X carbon tripod. I bought it new, for a small price, at e-bay (40% less a shop price... :p) I also bought a Sirui K-20x ballhead, I changed the Sirui quick change plate for a Manfrotto 323 quick change plate. I like it better, the "automatic" locking into place of my cam. The combo I have now, is much more stable as the "old" one. More stable, but the weight only got a bit more (from 1,7 kg to 2.1 kg) and folded length from 47.5 cm to 51 cm. This tripod works more in a "professional" way, legs sliding easy and without hesitation. It's nice and weird to hear air get in and escape while sliding the legs in and out. This tripod is very good for the longer photographer. I think I want to shorten the lower legs. With centre column down, I slide the lower legs 25 cm out instead of the 37 cm possible. Than it is on the right hight for me, with the D750 attached, botten cam at 147 cm, viewfinder at 155 cm. my length is just 170 cm above the grass... bear feet... :cool: I'm nearly satisfied... A Nest NT-530H gimball is on it's way to my place now... Ad B [/QUOTE]
