And who knows, maybe you'll like it enough to keep. For me, I prefer the heavy duty aluminium tripods over the really expensive carbon fiber. For one, the aluminium tripods are extremely sturdy and I'm a big guy so I don't mind toting around the extra weight. In addition, most of the Al tripods have a hook in the center post that allows you to hang a weight to it in case you're ever in a windy environment and need to reinforce it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
