Mattkime, the price is quite reasonable. It doesn't state what material the tripod is made of, although it mentions aluminum for the column. If it's all aluminum then that's why I want CF.
Total weight for this tripod with a head and my camera+lens would be over 15 lbs. That would be pushing it for me.
The design of the Bogen seems very good to me. Do you know of anything comparable in CF that with a head would cost $300 to $500?
I'd rather save up for a lighter weight setup than buy just for price.
If it wasn't for the weight factor, this Bogen would be a really good choice and I appreciate the suggestion.
Now if you can suggest an equivalent in CF, at least I'll know what I'm looking for.
Thank you Matt.
