The best tripod is the one you are going to USE. It can be the most rigid item in the universe, but if you can't be bothered to get it out of the cupboard, it's no use at all.

I compared the Velbon 635 Sherpa Pro (carbon) with the Manfrotto 055 (aluminium) at Bristol Camera who are offering the Velbon at an amazing pice of £130 including a Velbon head (these legs are £189 without head at Warehouse Express). I concluded that the Velbon legs were every bit a rigid as the Manfrotto and a lot lighter to carry. Bristol Camera will even allow you a discout for the free head against an upgrade - what more could you want
