I want a Manfrotto, so my tripod quality will rise to the level of my
OMs.
If I encounter a vibration problem, I'll be experimenting with it to
reduce
or hopefully, eliminate the vibrations, not trudging back to the store
to get
a different model. I hope.
Rich,
Sounds like you've decided! Whenever, a tripod thread comes up, I
have
to toss my hat to Tiltall. The center post can be used as a small
monopod as
well as reversed in the tripod legs. 6 feet. 6 lbs. Rubber feet with
retractable
spikes. Mine has both the handles long, for easier level adjustments.
IMO,
the smaller and lighter tripods do not have enough height.
What is the full extension of the Manfrotto tripod? Perhaps it is
not an
issue for everyone. I like to have the tripod extend to my standing
eyelevel.
Your mileage will vary. Tripods are subjective/personal. Sounds like
you've
found something you like in the Manfrotto. Happy snapping.
Cheers,
Rich Lahrson
