I'm talking about tripods!
My trusty Cullman 532 magnesit gave up its spirit.
The locking lever that holds one of the legs in a certain angle position broke so I am for a new tripod.
The Cullman as good as it is (cause I think it can be repaired) has a maximum safety load of 8 kgs and while I've never exceeded that, I tend to put lots of (expensive) load on it, especially during night shots (5 kgs+ with long tele lenses).
I am thinking on going for a hi end one like the Really Right Stuff TVC-34L.
It's a carbon fiber (which means less weight but more importantly for me fewer vibrations) one that can hold up to 23 kgs and has many other advantages.
What do you think guys?
Does investing in such a tripod make sense in IQ or is it all an advertisement bait to get your hard earned?
What to you use?
