[QUOTE="hark, post: 438828, member: 13196"] I've been looking at specs for a new tripod, but it's hard to make a decision based solely on specs. So today I went to my local camera store to see features I do and don't like. Since they didn't have a head like I wanted, I came home and did a little more research then narrowed down my choices to 3 tripods: two were by Manfrotto and one was by Gitzo (aluminum). Back I went to the store to make a decision. Ultimately it was the Gitzo that won out although there isn't much in the way of reviews on it--it is no longer manufactured. It is a Gitzo GT-2340L Series 2 Aluminum Tripod--and paid a VERY fair price of $229.99.
