[QUOTE="JustMe2, post: 2514886, member: 42494"] I've tried a lot of tripods trying to find both light and stable. What I've found is the light ones generally have flimsy heads. I feel a strong head is more important than big heavy legs (no dirty minds here). Of course the legs can't be too skinny, but the sturdiness of the head I have found is more important for stable panning and to hold heavy binoculars, spotting scope, etc. In the field, you can always add weight to the legs by hanging a rock or backpack between the legs or sit instead of stand, but you can't do anything in the field to improve a flimsy head from vibrating/moving when your eye/hand touches it. My suggestion would be to look for one with a strong panning head and less about the leg size. [/QUOTE]
