[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 213153, member: 12496"] I had a Velbon Sherpa 600R (RF version without a head) as a second tripod. It was pretty light-weight (referring to stability instead of carrying weight), and soon, one leg simply snapped off at the base (thin wall aluminum leg simply sheared off) I replaced it with a Manfrotto 055 (several versions, 055 is heavier than 190). Much better, and at the time, without head, it was not greatly more cost than Velbon (in aluminum). My favorite is an old original Tiltall, 40+ years old, but it's too heavy outside the house.
