[QUOTE="rcdinaz, post: 532511, member: 31581"] Just following up on this thread as I did purchase a CF tripod that may be of interest to the OP. I took a chance on a smoking web price for a Benro C-058M8 and it looks good so far. I put a Monfrotto mini ball head and it comes in right at 2.5 lbs. Since I have less than $200 into the thing I think that is a pretty good deal. The unit has both rubber and screw type feet that are interchangeable and 3 position locks on the legs to widen the stance, it also has a post that can be used as 3/8 or 1/4 inch so it will take just about any head you may already have. What I don't like; the Benro has screw type leg locks and my experience is the lever ones are much easier in the field and not prone to over tightening (stripping). We will see how it does this season so far the price and weight are right and it is MUCH more stable than my Slik mini at only slightly more weight. If it works well in the field I will probably put a Jim White head on it as an upgrade. [B][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/B] [/QUOTE]
