[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 347283, member: 12496"] I tried a Velbon Sherpa 600R, and one leg simply broke off. There was no accident or force, it just broke off in my hand when opening it one day (an early day). The leg seems to be very thin metal, arguably thick enough for the threads here. [IMG]http://www.scantips.com/g2/800_8516.jpg[/IMG] The Manfroto 055 seems a much better deal. Plus Manfrotto makes replacement parts available, B&H carries a lot of them. I am generally no Manfrotto fan (cost and strangeness, etc), but tripods have to be an exception. Four legs might be shorter packed, but any 4th leg has to be smaller diameter than the 3rd (sturdiness?), and has to be a bit heavier, and is extra opening effort (three times). Probably either way works though. [/QUOTE]
