While yes, some-30-lbs capacity is an overkill for an SLR (and
insuficient to hold a kid who is older than ~2.5 years :-) ), --
if you want to have a camera with a long length on it (and extended),
it might be a good candidate, especially if the previous "step" is some 4
pounds.
Thank you, Steve, for the link to the TiltAll blogsite.
Indeed, buried in it is the suggestion of how to replace that bushing
(that's the right term I couldn't think of while writing the previous
message!) around the central column.
So, I am curious now, - after having all those beefy tripods, - which
one(s) have you setlled on?

I know that a few people here have been interested in steady tripods

i was wondering what you'd want with that, then i saw 40 lb load capacity
...
[discussing TiltAll] Last time I tried to disassemble it trying to
figure out how one of the legs could be used as a monopod -- according
to rumors, I somewhat damaged the gasket, or whatever it's called, -
inside the central column mount. It's working fine, but that gasket can
probably fall apart at any moment.
in case you are not aware, there is a valuable resource at
<http://tiltallsupport.blogspot.com>
somewhere that blog talks of using stickum velcro of just the right
thickness; i need to do this repair myself on one of my two TiltAlls ...
then i need to sell them along with some beefy Manfrottos and some ball
heads, as i seem to have completed the traditional cycle of "buy several
bargain tripods before you get the one you'll like"
