[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 433853, member: 24285"] Little more research on capacities suggests that at minimum I'll need one that is $50+ before head. I'd like to get the same quick release plate I use on my Trans-functional Travel Angel, these are arca-swiss style (I buy PU60/50 Quick Release Plates from eBay they work fine on my Benro and cost about $5-6 each). I see the quick release plate used is dependant on the head purchased. I assume one does not need to use the Manfrotto heads but could use one that takes the arca-swiss style quick release plates. I'd want the tilting one to make it easier to point the camera skyward. Some tilt is easy enough but not for birds in flight or even up a tree - depending of course on how close you are. Looking at the options I'm thinking I'll wait until I'm in the camera store where I can handle this thing. I see on line that Vistek and The Camera store both sell these in stock for about the same price. Might even get a good used one at the used Camera store in Calgary.
