Anybody got one of these or something similar? We recently went to the
local sculpture gardens <http://www.brookgreen.org/> and I can tell I'm
going to be spending a lot more time there with my camera. While there
I spotted a fellow photog who was carrying a Velbon VS-443D tripod. He
said he loved it. I handled it no more than picking it up briefly but I
was intrigued by it. It's light weight (4 lbs) and very versatile with
its tilting, geared center column and low-to-the-ground capability for
macro. I have a 400 pound, very versatile Manfrotto beast and a very
light travel tripod that isn't versatile. I could use something in
between very much like this. The B&H reviews are quite positive with
only some minor reservations about the included ball head and concern
about the durability of the plastic leg locks.
