[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 820903, member: 50197"] I need to replace the Pup's travel tripod. Her old one gave up the ghost, more from being hauled around than actually used. As intimated, she doesn't use one often, but when she needs one.......... I happened to see that B&H has a big sale on right now, and goes off later today. I found a small Benro that looks to fit the bill. There are two different models that appear to be identical, except one is aluminum and one is carbon fiber. She is fine with either. There is only .6 lb difference between the two and the CF one is almost twice the price. Of course, this isn't an expensive tripod, so the difference is $70. I have heard that CF is stiffer and doesn't transmit vibration as much as aluminum. Do you think it's worth spending the extra on the CF? Quick responses are appreciated as I need to make the decision in the next couple hours. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
