[QUOTE="nickt, post: 648511, member: 4923"] I have the Alta Pro 263 AT. Same as Dan's 264 but has 3 section legs. Its aluminum, not the lightest out there but I'm not carrying it far. I was ok with the included sbh-100 head at the time but grabbed a larger sbh-250 head for cheap and glad I did. Swapped the head when I got my 150-600 lens. It is very solid with my camera and big lens. The sbh series heads are discontinued now. The newer Vanguard BBH series heads are said to be Arca-Swiss compatible. The tripod does some neat things for when I do special macro shots. Consider if you need that ability or not. A flimsy tripod will haunt you, been there, done that. You can see them shake especially when using a long lens. Although at the low end in price, the Vanguard does the job for me. [/QUOTE]
