So, to cheer myself up, I am off to Amazon to pull the trigger on Tammy Terri - I know someone who is selling a Tammy. Might be cheaper - just in case you haven't pulled the trigger yet. www.athenacarey.com

This would likely cost between 2 and 3 hundred dollars. That's what I had wanted to spend on a 3rd off camera flash...  or Should I buy a lighter weight (cheaper) manfrotto that can't hold my heaviest camera/lens combo but can manage the camera/macro lens + tubes to use just for this next 2 months? Does anyone know which manfrotto this might be? sigh... I'd say look at what you'd be mostly using the tripod for. Since you want it more for the macro work, then I'd recommend the lighter one.

By mid October when we go back, I will have spent 3.5 months here in the states - far longer than I had prepared for when we left. That's a quarter of the year without a tripod or flash.  I am getting a litle bit stir crazy, but don't want to spend a fortune on gear I already own. The BIGGEST thing that is bothering me is not having a tripod because I use one a lot for macro.

That is unless you anticipate needing the heavier one while you are here. The Site

BearLeeAlive All butt cheeks and string.  30,200 posts Likes: 70 Joined May 2005 Location: Calgary, AB More info | I just love my Gitzo Explorer GT2540EX Tripod for macro work. I use my 3-way head with it and can set up for a shot at almost any conceivable angle, from right at ground level and up. It is also rated for up to a 300 f2.8 lens mounted on my camera. I think it is a bit pricier than what you are looking at though. -JIM-

If I were spending MY MONEY, I'd get permission from my wife to get the lighter tripod. Take only pictures, leave only footprints...
