carbon fiber-the only way to go.

Well, unless you don't got $$$$$$

yep, always good tripod and flash first lol...

I like rrs tripods personally if I had that kinda money. Tripods are like car tires, no one really pays attention to them but they can make a dramatic difference on performance.

On a side note, I'm getting a satchler ace tripod for video. I hope it's alright.

[Hangman]

I don't use tripods that much and have only used it a couple of times in the past. But the reason I am ordering this one is that I will have the oppurtunity to use it very very extensively coming up very soon. (muhahahahah)

high end gitzo is what you need for a $3000 dollar body...

Will have to see how this tripod works out first.

This will be my first "real" tripod. I have used a couple of cheap $15 tripods from wally-world in the past.

Benro used to be cheaper when people were just selling outta hong kong, but then benro started official distribution channels in us and Canada the prices jumped up, almost double i think. But for the money, it's still hard to beat.

Whens the next time you're going to china. I want a ton stuff please get it for me! Lol. How much did the benro cost over there? Please bring me back stufffffrfffddddffffd

lol...the A2691B1 combo is less than $150 bucks over there...so about $100 cheaper?
i dont go back that ofter now due to work lol...what kinda of stuff are you looking for that needs to bring in from china?

[soymilk]

I got a Ravelii. Its one of the cheaper ones from Amazon. Its got some good reviews, so I figure I would try it out.
If its doesn't work, then I'll have to looks for one thats better.

Hangman, is that the only tripod you have?

The carbons ones are too pricey lol. I'm not sure the advantage of the carbon vs aluminum for the benro. Weight difference is like 1lbs.

lol..less than 1lb...so ya...kinda not really a lot of advantage....
but i got my C2681 from china...it was actually cheap than the price of the A2681/91 here in the states...
benro are just too expensive over here lol...
but I do prefer the 2681 over 2691, 2681 is more stable while the 2691 is more travel friendly...
i rarely travel with tripod lol...unless a short trip that I drive a car...
