[QUOTE="gqtuazon, post: 61262, member: 6573"] Hi Claudia - what you need is a shorter version of the tripod. I prefer carbon fiber tripods since they are lighter. If your budget can accommodate it, I would get the higher end line of products such as Gitzo or Really Right Stuff. A good place to read more in choosing the right tripod below by Thom Hogan. I wouldn't go for extended warranty since these are really durable tripods and ballheads. [URL="http://bythom.com/support.htm"]Tripods and Ball Heads by Thom Hogan[/URL] RRS CF tripod and ballhead package (high end) [URL="http://reallyrightstuff.com/ProductDesc.aspx?code=TVC33S-Pro-Pkg&type=3&eq=&desc=TVC-33S-Tripod-%2b-BH-55-Pro-Ballhead&key=it"]TVC-33S Tripod + BH-55 Pro Ballhead - TVC33S-Pro-Pkg - Kit Configuration Page[/URL] [video=vimeo;26976002]http://vimeo.com/26976002[/video] For Gitzo, I use the Gitzo 3531S with Arca-swiss Z-1 ballhead. Both are available from B & H photo. I am 5' 9", and it is just right for my height. If you want a cheaper Gitzo, check out the "basalt" tripods. They offer the same strudy and strong tripod but they are cheaper since they are slightly heavier.

[video=vimeo;8814918]http://vimeo.com/8814918[/video] I don't have any experience with the Manfrotto but they are also well built. [/QUOTE]
