Tripods for Landscapes.
This has probably been up a few times but iam looking for a new tripod to replace the one I've got, its a manfrotto 200 model which is great & very sturdy but put it on your backpack & it feels as if you are pulling a car along, one that i would like has to be light for the backpack & hiking ,sturdy for landscapes & in a price range from £100-150, thanks for any advice.

Re: Tripods for Landscapes.
I guess a carbon fibre tripod is the way to go for you. Dave picked up a bargain Velbon a while back - £115, i think.

Re: Tripods for Landscapes.
Velbon are generally very good value and well made, and the importers (Intro 2020) carry spares and accessories (e.g. spare QR plates) if you need them. Especially at that price I can't think of anything better.

Re: Tripods for Landscapes.
I bought the Sherpa CF545 and I am really pleased with it. It is light yet sturdy. Just one point though, it may not be tall enough for some people, but its fine for me. Check out the dimensions on the web.
