  1. First thanks to all for the comments...great stuff...is anyone familiar with the older Vanguard Obeo plus 323...it's been discontinued but looks pretty solid in pictures...but hard to judge how big those legs actually are without something for perspective but found the aluminum version for a decent price
  2. I've seen that trick and notice that many have hooks for that purpose too
  3. Good stuff thanks...I'm working with a nikon D7500 and a 17-50 lens, so my camera/lens weight is on the lighter side will likely be exposed...beaches and such is what I'm interested in...I can carry a bit...pretty fit for an old guy...but I also don't want to make it such a chore I don't enjoy it...As I'm going to want to smooth out water I expect that most of my exposures will be at least a couple of minutes so vibration will be an issue...sounds like carbon fiber would be best
  4. I'm looking for a tripod mainly for long exposures...that won't break the bank. Realistically I'm not going to be flying around the world with this so size and weight are not my top concerns. That said I will be doing landscapes so I have to get it from the car to the photo spot. The Mefoto Road Trip gets good reviews and at $150 looks nice, but maybe too lightweight. The Globe Trotter even more robust and still in my price range. How do they compare in stability to say the Manfrotto 290 xtra. Clearly different categories but which is more stable? (i.e. just because it's heavier is it better?). Also the Geekoto is reasonably priced in carbon fiber...besides being lighter does that make it less prone to vibration? Thanks for your incites...Will
