[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2341625, member: 61747"] Light doesn't always mean less stabile. It is really about the design. The smaller the diameter of the head or base the more flex. The smaller the diameter and taller the legs, the more flex. One of the reasons some tripods are more expensive is due to the way in the which the unit is designed and incorporating quality parts. Yes, generally a 8-10 lb tripod is going to blow the doors off a 3 lbr. However, can a 3 lbr do the job.... It can if it's designed right. In september I was shooting rocks off the tripod at 1500. I've killed yotes 700-1125 off that tripod. It weighs 3.5lbs ready to deploy and hold a rifle. It will extend tall enough for standing shots. The problem is that this tripod is by no means cheap in my book. However, after 3 years beating the sheet out of it, I am impressed, and feel it was WELL worth the expenditure.
