[QUOTE="STM, post: 613805, member: 12827"] I recently got a Desmond DCF-428 carbon fiber tripod on Ebay. It is extremely light (about 3 pounds without head) and very sturdily built and is stated to support up to 41 pounds. It handles my 600mm f/4 ED-IF AIS, TC-300, Movo gimbal head and either the D700 or D300 with battery packs (for about 22 pounds +/-) without any effort at all. The legs can be moved 180º and the center column is reversible. One leg can be removed and used as a monopod. I already have a very good Manfrotto head and the Movo gimbal head so there was no need to get another head. Without head, the tripod was about $180, with a ball head it went for about $200. It is very highly rated in the reviews I read on it [/QUOTE]
