[QUOTE="NVSteve, post: 185445, member: 13248"] Up until about 6 months ago, I had 11 or 12 tripods in assorted sizes. All were well aged and a bit heavy-even the smaller ones. I had one that was fairly light, but it wasn't good for anything aside from a P&S. I can't remember the make or model, but the one I enjoy the most (when I don't have to lug it far) is absolutely a beast. Probably weighs as much as a spare tire & is so rock solid when set up that it could probably stop a moving car. Long story short, I gave away most of them & am down to about 4 (including that beast). Since I didn't have anything that was both light(er) and stout enough, I ended up getting one of the Dolica carbon fiber tripods from Costco when they had a $20 or $30 savings coupon for it. Very nice tripod. It certainly isn't feather light, but it is light enough for me & certainly very stable. You might want to glance at those if you get the chance as they are very inexpensive, yet seem very well made. Then again, I'm one of those whack jobs who rarely roams around with a tripod & never uses a neck strap for the camera. [/QUOTE]
