[QUOTE="TedG954, post: 270223, member: 9701"] I received the Giottos tripod and it's everything I wanted, and more. 1) With the legs fully extended, without using the center post, my camera is above eye-level and I'm 6-foot. 2) Additionally, it is not a lightweight affair. But, again, I only use a tripod with a plan in mind. Otherwise I'll just take my monopod. 3) At a bit over $200, it's not inexpensive when you compare it to what they stock at Walmart (and we all have one of those). But, if I had bought this Giottos before the 2 other "professional" tripods I own, it would have ended up a lot less expensive. The old [I]buy [/I]o[I]nce, cry once[/I] theory. Would I recommend this model? Would I buy it if I could do it over? Yes, on both counts. If you want a truly heavy duty tripod with lateral mount capability, check it out.
