This is a bit of an off-the-wall question. I had a Slik U212 tripod until it was damaged. Loved it, and I want to get another, but it only has a 5.5LB load rating. I'm wondering if this is due to the head, which is kinda flimsy, or is it the load limit of the legset. Anyone got any insight on this??
FWIW, I now have an old Bogen 3021 Pro with the removable center column, and it's awful. Moving the center column is nearly impossible when there's any appreciable weight on it.
Thanks,

Digital: D610 backed up by a D1x. Quoted from an unknown source by a fellow planeteer, "Never get rid of a working D1x." I've got to agree.
Film: N90s, F3, F100, F4s, C330s. A few lenses.
Why film photography? I like shooting with the equipment. 6x6 Velvia slides from a C330 have an appeal all their own.
Why automated 35mm/Digital cameras? Event photography is about capturing moments. It often requires quick response. Well done automaton can be your friend or your enemy. It all depends on knowing what it can and can't do. "A man's got to know his (camera's) limitations." paraphrasing Dirty Harry...
