Sturdy and light weight are to some degree mutually exclusive. I know what you

Even with a bigger cam weighted with no center column it worked fine. It is
quite good for macro too. Moose wouldn't like the no lever leg design
Ah yes, I remember. Cute and well built. But . . . Life and vacations are too

As I recall, the Velbon didn't seem any less stable, and almost infinitely quicker to set-up, adjust and take down. Not

and with the improved IS of late doesn't use the 'pod as much traveling at all.
Ever so true. On our broken bones shortened trip last fall, I don't think I ever used it in two weeks. I carried it,
