[QUOTE="Mark F, post: 666504, member: 12825"] First off... I know this topic has been talked about to death, so sorry for redundancy I have the Mefoto Roadtrip aluminum version which I like for when I do long hikes. I'm looking for a sturdier tripod. My choices have been down to the Mefoto Globetrotter, the Benro system Go with the Benro B2 ballhead, the Sirui W-1204 with K-30X ballhead, and maybe the Neewer CF 63". When I have my camera mounted on the ballhead, I use mirror up then wait for a few seconds to settle the vibration down from the mirror slap before I snap the photo. I have heard that carbon fiber legs may improve that, but then I hear they are not as stable as the heavier alluminum legs. So, my question is... for someone not doing much long exposure or time lapse shots, would there be any advantage one way or the other over aluminum vs carbon fiber? Any comments on either of the tripods I mentioned? [/QUOTE]
