Hello all, I am new to this forum and am returning after a loooong layoff from my photohobby (20+ years). Back then had a full Canon set-up, multiple lenses, etc. Lost it all in "the divorce". I am finally back where I can afford a nice (but not too expensive rig). I picked up a 40D with the 17-85 lens. Planning on the 100 macro next plus a 70-200 later on. I love macro so I am looking for a tripod that will be mainly used for that and around the house etc (no real hiking). I am very interested in the Uni-Loc tripod but trying to get one here in the states seems virtually impossible. I called one company that advertises as selling them, they said they would send a catalog (haven't seen it yet). Pro4 used to sell them but they don't exist. So, does anyone have a clue where I might be able find one? Barring that I am leaning towards the Manfrotto Pro serires with the mobile boom. Also am considering a Manfrotto monopod for walking around, etc. Any opinions etc would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Guy
