[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1925083, member: 87243"] I think I found what I'm gonna go with....seems extremely solid, not overly heavy and really well priced. It is a Night Snipe carbon tripod with a massive ball head, and all up weighs 4.09 lbs, and would be less in the field because I would remove the center pole as I have no need for it to go over 56".
