Looks good.
I also obtained a Velbon Maxi for travel just prior to joining the
list--still use.
I am not fully pleased with any of the choices. When on a horse trip,
it is not wise to bring my Gitzo Ex with the cantilevering center
column--GREAT for macro.
For OM/MFT my choice was:

I like the ability to weight it via a carabiner and remove the ctr
column--can get to 10" or so min height. Moose choice doesn't do badly
at 14". Sirui can work well (not if windy) with OM FF digital if
weight it and not extending too far as well as ctr column removal.
My choice of modification would be to make it about 20% heavier with
ability to use a monopod and being able to cantilever the ctr
column--stabilized by counter weight. None of the ones I've seen hit
the Goldilocks zone for me but I needed something.
Too many legs, none quite right, Mike
