[QUOTE="rick.osgood, post: 579921, member: 42457"] I am researching various tripods and would appreciate feedback on a few I have looked at. First, my criteria: 1) Lightweight as I am buying this mostly as a travel tripod 2) Good quality ball head. Pan and tilt handles would be preferred. No creep with D7100 and longer lens (70-300) 3) Center post can be reversed for macro photography 4) Option: Can be converted to monopod when needed. 5) Budget $200.00 or so I am finding tripods with a variation of the criteria I am looking for but none (based on reviews) that meet all of them. Here are the models I am looking at so far: [SIZE=3][FONT=arial]Dolica LA600 Pro 60-Inch Aluminum Alloy Traveler Edition Tripod (Black)[/FONT][/SIZE] [URL]https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NOEH4FS/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza[/URL] [SIZE=3][FONT=arial] Manfrotto BeFree Compact Travel Aluminum Alloy Tripod (Black)[/FONT][/SIZE] [URL]https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/969739-REG/manfrotto_mkbfra4_bh_befree_compact_travel_photo.html[/URL] [SIZE=3][FONT=arial] MeFoto RoadTrip Aluminum Travel Tripod Kit[/FONT][/SIZE] [URL]https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/used/892888/?gclid=CjwKEAjwgdS-BRDA7fT68f6s8zMSJADZwHmvIOyurkwTRfR4jTNw6JpuB7qdGeNXFqLcHLJtvuoVHBoCa5bw_wcB&c3api=1876%2C52248989522%2C[/URL] [SIZE=3][FONT=arial]Dolica zx600B103[/FONT][/SIZE] [url=http://www.dolica.com/refurbished/zx600b103-60-carbon-fiber-tripod-and-ball-head]Dolica ZX600B103 60" Carbon Fiber Tripod and Ball Head — Dolica[/url] I would like to hear from anyone who owns one of these models. Any pros or cons? Did you change the head? I would also like to hear recommendations for different brands/models/options. Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
