[QUOTE="chav0_12, post: 2514889, member: 29765"] Couple of things, the lighter the weight the less stability you have, that's just the way it is. What do you mean about the aluminum tripods being out of the discussion? If I was going to buy another tripod it would be an Outdoorsmans', they're aluminum, stable and light. I currently have a Sirui ET-1204 (might be the 2204, can't remember) with a VA-5 head. I really like this tripod but it's kind of heavy at 3.5lbs. For me, flip-lock legs were a must and the price was great at $300. I had heard great reviews about the head and I agree, it's amazing, but again it's heavy. I'm considering getting an Outdoorsmas' head to put on it to take some of the weight off. My tripod is stable with a 65mm ATX on it, I would slightly hesitate putting a 95mm on it since I do think that would be on the edge of its capacity, but I'd still like to try it. [/QUOTE]
