Something light and smallthat will hold up my 1D MK II and Canon 28-70mm f/2.8. I was looking at the Manfrotto 718SHB but the max it can hold is very close to my body/lens weight. Is there anything out there that's about the same size/price as the Manfrotto 718SHB but with amax load of more than 5.5 lbs?
Thanks! Chris |

the only problem though is that i have never heard of, or seen a Benro tripod before, then again i have never seen a good brand name tripod before :G
if you do get a chance to see or can give any feedback on the Benro i would really appreciate it Dave |

Hey Dave,
This is a little cheaper and folds down to 14"... http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...specifications I'll see if I have time to check it out at B&H. BTW I mentioned to my wife about this tripod :G She said "Sounds good but never heard of the brand" :lol: She mentioned nothing about the price ![]() http://www.adorama.com/SLSPMB.html?s...fo=slik+tripod Thanks! Chris |

I've seen Benro mentioned elsewhere as a possible alternative - it's supposed to be one of the better made knock-offs. I've never actually seen one, so would be interested in your views, especially if you also look at the Gitzo 1541. My other half hasn't said no to this one, just rolled his eyes and suggested that it would be cheaper to get the best/most appropriatefirst, rather than keep upgrading and end up spending twice as much. I'm still saving up, but hope to buy something in May.
