Tripod recommendations?

[GodSpeed1]

Hello,
I have a SLIK 824 CF tripod now. I have no complaints, other than it is heavy. At some point I would like to upgrade & get something that is lightweight & not so cumbersome to haul around the mountains. Wonder if anyone has any recommendations?!

The Slik 634 has been good for me.

The SVH-501 is a video head, not a tripod. What tripod do you have it on that you do not like?

It's a SLIK 824 CF. Sweet setup just feels like a heavy sucker to me

Great tripod, but yes heavy at 3.5 Lbs. The CF-634 is only 2 Lbs.
IMO the Benro FRHN14C at 2.6 Lbs, can support 39.7 Lbs, is the best under 3 Lbs. Here is a link

Good thread. I don’t’ know much about tripods except that I need a study, yet lightweight one for my 18x56 bino?
