[reemas]

would this tripod be good? is it heavy enough? i'm new to tripods and have read a little here on the forums.

any info would be great.

From the specs it seems stable enough, while being carryable. My gitzo with a head is about 8.5 lbs and it's the max weight I'd want to actually hike with.

The 3 way head is a pain to adjust too.

i dont know what a 3 way head is, so i don't know if it is good or bad. but what would you recommend?
