[QUOTE="cbg, post: 81625, member: 10561"] One thing that I haven't seen metioned is that as soon as you start to raise the center column, your support begins to weaken. You really want a tripod that is tall enough without raising the center column. I think that Thom Hogan mentioned that in his tripod article. I completely agree with fotojack on load limits. You can never have too much of a load limit, but you can certainly have too little. I'd much rather have a tripod that will support 20+ lbs with 10 lbs of gear on it than one rated at 11 lbs with the same gear on it. Colin [/QUOTE]
