Yes, tried that - the specifications tab doesn't seem to be working, at least not on my PC:

Thanks for the link - they look interesting but the website is awful, can't find much detail about the specs (folded height, weight etc)?

The Velbon Rexi L has also been recommended, it doesn't come with spikes though which are pretty much essential

I'm not swaying more toward the Benro, specifically this one:

Straight from the horses mouth so to speak...

7 Day shop is the cheapest supplier I've found for my Canon MP540

Simon

It definitely isn't cheap but options do seem quite limited for these type of features so I guess they can charge a premium - looking at weight comparisons between the aluminium (1.5kg) & CF version (1.28kg) it actually seems quite small so maybe the alumnium one would be the most cost effective option

I haven't even put Manfrotto on the list as I don't think they are as compact when folded - the Giotto folds to 40cm

Has anyone used this tripod and can offer some feedback?

Thanks

Well the wifes asked what I have on my christams list and for a while now I've been thinking of upgrading my Redsnapper Aluminium tripod, it's very sturdy and decent quality but it's a little bulky and heavy for mountain hikes.

I've had a trawl around the internet and unsuprisingly the Giotto name appears frequently - I've also seen several good reviews for Induro however, particularly the CT014 which looks pretty much perfect for my needs, has anyone used one and can offer some feedback?

thanks

Simon
