Manfrotto 055XB

$173.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
in terms of the "cons" related to this product, the #1 is (quite obviously) that it is a heavy tripod and not something you'd want to lug around when camping or such.
from www.amazon.com
my first impression of the tripod was weight, this is not a light tripod, and while i hiked with it, i wouldn't recommend it for backpacking.
from www.amazon.com
this tripod has the flip type of leg locks (which i like so much better than the twist-screw leg locks) and has the weight and stability to hold your camera securely in whatever position you lock it
from www.amazon.com
very nice tripod but it is heavy.
from www.amazon.com
it is very solid construction, a little on the heavy side, but once you carry it around and see the great shots you can get by using it, you wont even worry about lugging it with you.

Slik PRO 700 DX

$120.00 Est. at Amazon

from "FM", www.bhphotovideo.com
i will admit that it is the first real quality tripod i have owned, as i do a lot of hiking and don't want the weight of a tripod.
from www.adorama.com
the tripod is heavy enough hiking photographers won't likely go for it, but for those who don't mind the seven-plus pounds as a trade-off for an exceptional and beautifully performing tripod, it is
from www.bhphotovideo.com
i don't think the tripod feels heavy and it is quite easy to tote around.
from "DGATES", www.adorama.com
this tripod is heavy duty, it will hold a dslr and a long lens with no problem.
from "brenton", www.bhphotovideo.com
i would mark it 4 stars because of weight, but this is a great tripod that wont break the bank.

Joby Gorillapod Focus GP8 Flexible

$100.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
this pod is stable enough to handle my camera (30d with my lens weight is about 1,4 kg), i'm taking it often with me, good for taking pictures in nature without need to take my regular tripod.
from www.amazon.com
i have an ancient straight mini-tripod in my camera bag, but i rarely use it and its a little heavy - this one is light and can achieve stability on uneven surfaces with no problem.
from www.amazon.com
the tripod is also very light weight which makes it ideal for travel.
from www.amazon.com
setting it up as a tripod is definitely not enough to support the weight (although i assumed it wouldn't); the legs would buckle and the whole thing would collapse.
from www.amazon.com
i found this device immediately useful, it is a terrific light weight tripod for use with cameras.

Pro Line Dolica AX620B100 Proline Aluminum

$51.00 Est. at Amazon

from "roberthbennett", www1.cameraworld.com
this tripod is lightweight, sturdy, highly adjustable.
from www.amazon.com
i have searched for a lightweight tripod that would provide stability for a 70-200 mm lens(3 lb)and camera body, when i came across this proline product.
from www.amazon.com
there's also a hook at the bottom of the long pole extension between the 3 legs, you can add weight to it to weigh down the tripod.
from www.amazon.com
i already own a bogen pro-grade tripod, which is very sturdy and heavy.
from www.amazon.com
it could probably hold 3 or 4 times the weight that i put on it.

Manfrotto 190XPROB 3 Section Aluminum Pro

from "sandytntn", www.bhphotovideo.com
light weight yet sturdy and worth every penny.
from www.amazon.com
the only downside to this tripod is the weight, too light for the breeze at times, may need your cam bag or other to help weight it down a bit at times.
from www.amazon.com
i love this tripod it is light weight which makes it very easy to carry around town.
from www.amazon.com
i've mounted my d300 with 70-200 2.8 on this tripod and while i had initial reservations about it's ability to handle the weight, it passed with flying colors.
from www.amazon.com
i like the feel and weight of the carbon fiber and it supposedly dampens vibration better, but if cost is key, you would probably do just as well with aluminum.
