[QUOTE="hark, post: 824994, member: 13196"] Most decent tripods rated for 22 pounds and higher should be able to support the weight of the Sigma lens. If I were to look for another tripod, I wouldn't hesitate to look at Leofoto. I purchased one of their monopods and liked it so much that I purchased a second one. But it has twist locks which isn't your preference. I also have 2 Sirui monopods both with twist locks - one aluminum and one carbon fiber. I also like them a lot, and their quality is very good. But when the beefy Leofoto carbon fiber monopod showed up for $73 plus tax, it was money well spent especially for two of them. The Leofoto monopods have much thicker legs - even thicker than my Gitzo Mountaineer Carbon Fiber Tripod. What you want to be concerned with is the head. That's what might not be as supportive.
