[QUOTE="Claudia!, post: 62160, member: 8139"] I finally went back to the camera store today. At first, I thought that I was more lost than so I came home empty handed. I would rather make a choice that I am sure is the right one. I have narrowed it down to 2 tripods. I have decided on the 498 rc2 ball head. I have at least made one choice!
