I feel my full size tripods are in good shape,, but,, the travel ones are still an issue. kinda have it workedout,, but not really,, I am still looking for the perfect light weight but strong enough design. I usemostly Manfrotto only because I have so many of the connecting plates on the camera and on thelarger lens,  I just bought a bunch, and have them always on the camera or large tele. I actually don't use tripods all the time,, only when necessary,, I kinda find them a pain,, often I have it on the camera, and I am so framing I'll use the tripod kinda like a handle. but stillhand held.. I get so used to walking around with the tripod attached, that I will walk all day,, and barely noticed,,but,, will say,, at the end of the day,, or when you sit down at say a restaurant,, feelsso good to put down the gear, its like walking around with a 10lb barbell,, At first the barbell won't be heavy, but walk around all day..I know I know that is why the C class mirrorless are getting so popular,, but,,I am so used to the weight,, that I really don't notice. Maybe someday,, when Nikon comes out with a full frame,  40 MillionMirrorless camera, but,, I kinda worry,, because I like looking at the REAL world directly withlmy eyes,, versus some computer controlled tiny TV that is changing what the real image is.... save this topic for tomorrow blog..</blockquote>
