[QUOTE="hark, post: 188025, member: 13196"] I did a little more digging on the Manfrotto tripod listed above. It is discontinued but the manufacturer's price was $167. I listed a few links below--Amazon and B&H links listed because they contain reviews. I might go check this out for myself. Currently I own a REALLY heavy Bogen Manfrotto tripod which is good in windy conditions as well as for supporting heavy lenses. For conditions where a lighter tripod is good, I have an inexpensive Velbon tripod that has worked well for over a decade. The only problem with it is that there are braces on the legs making it difficult to straddle certain things. This Manfrotto doesn't have those braces. Here is [URL="http://www.manfrotto.us/293-aluminum-3-section-tripod-with-qr-3-way-head"]Manfrotto's link for the tripod[/URL]. Here is [URL="http://www.amazon.com/Manfrotto-MK293A3-A3RC1-Aluminum-Tripod-Release/dp/B004MKNJ9I"]Amazon's link for the tripod[/URL]. And here is [URL="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist.jsp&A=details&Q=&sku=754210&is=REG"]B&H's link for the tripod[/URL]. [/QUOTE]
