Re: Need recommendation for solid, luggable tripod

Thank you everyone for your info and opinions. I'm quickly narrowing down the possible choices, somewhat limited by what's actually carried locally here. My plan so far is to get a head -- likely the Acratech -- first, and use it with my existing legs which are supposed to support 15 pounds.

Re: Need recommendation for solid, luggable tripod

I have a set of Bogen 3021 legs, with a Manfroto 410 geared head that are sturdy as heck. Heavy as heck too. I think both are still available, although you might want to go with something like the Manfrotto XPRO Geared 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head, because it looks like it's easier to manipulate & get

Re: Need recommendation for solid, luggable tripod

I believe Feisol, Benro, Sirui and Induro all come out about the same. I'm not positively certain that they all come out of the same factory, but I certainly have my suspicions... :-) I have two different carbon Induros. They're both a little fiddly with the locking mechanism, but not

Re: Need recommendation for solid, luggable tripod

My Feisol CT3442 Tournament legs are about ten years old and show no signs of wear or age as yet. They've been used a lot. I looked up the latest version and note that they've been uprated to 55lbs load and have the new "rapid anti-leg-rotation" technology in the leg locks. The anti-rotation

Re: Need recommendation for solid, luggable tripod

Bruce, whatever head you get you need to equip it with an Arca Swiss type QR system - simply the best - I've used Kirk's pieces but RRS also supplies quality items. I've used Kirk pieces for over 20 years and they've never let me down. I have a Kirk ball head but I mostly use a Bogen mini gear

Re: Need recommendation for solid, luggable tripod

I love my Benbo http://www.patersonphotographic.com/benbo-tripods.htm the flexibility of positions you can get it into for macro work is great and Benbo's are very sturdy... Mine is about 30 years old.. I'm not sure which if the current models would be best.. ann On 8/11/2016 8:19 PM,

Re: Need recommendation for solid, luggable tripod

I have nothing against Manfrotto legs.. I own two sets of them. The Feisols I mentioned are simply lighter, stronger, pack down smaller, taller when extended, and support more weight. The head and QR system make much more of a difference. G -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net

What he said. My old Manfrotto/Bogen 190 continues to go strong after 25 years, and my Manfrotto carbon fibre (don't recall the model number) is solid enough to support my 645 and tough enough for astrophotography in sub-zero (Farenheit) temperatures. On Thu, 11 Aug 2016 20:26:45 -0400, Paul
