[QUOTE="hark, post: 772044, member: 13196"] It certainly looks like a monster of a tripod with strong, thick legs as well as being quite tall. For me it would be the weight of 4.3 pounds without factoring in the weight of a head. But for many people, it can be carried without any problems (I've had 3 knee surgeries in the past so I won't even consider it). I do own a [URL="https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1157830-REG/benro_tma28a_mach3_aluminum_series_2.html"]Benro TMA28A Series 2 Mach3 Aluminum Tripod[/URL]. It is solid, but my favorite is an aluminum Gitzo Series 2 Long that extends quite tall. I also have the comparable Gitzo carbon fiber model (Mountaineer I believe) that is nice, but for some reason, the aluminum is my preference. Yet I still own a Bogen Manfrotto 3021 aluminum tripod with a Bogen Manfrotto 3047 geared head. The combo weighs about 10 pounds so I rarely carry it anywhere now. The combo is stong...and that head is rock solid (the head must be somewhere in the 4 pound range). [/QUOTE]
