Jeez Bill, To meet those specs it would have to be homemade from donated
unobtainium. /jim

Subject: [OM] The Perfect Tripod?
I use a Bogen 3221 with the 3030 head, which is good and sturdy. Much of
what I do is macro or close up and am interested in something that will
allow me to get up close and personal with the flora and the fauna a little
easier. Because I also travel a bit, it would be nice to have something a
bit lighter. A ball head might also be nice. So I'm looking for advice.
What I probably need is something in carbon fiber, with a good ball head
that will set up 2" off the ground, extend to 6', weigh 12 1/2 ounces and
cost about $100. I haven't been all that good this year so Santa probably
didn't have the elves make me one like this but I would like to hear from
the list about what they might suggest. Bill Barber
