Re: Advice on Compact Tripod for Wildflower/Fungi Photo's.

Thanks for the info guys.

Jiust had a look on the net for these.

The Uniloc 1700 is on the heavy side for what I want - looking at the specs, it would be well over 3kg with a suitable head. The 1600 is the lightest they do, but even that would be about 3kg all in. (This range of gear looks like it's very well engineered though).

The Benbo mini trekker looks interesting - only about 1.5Kg. I'll try to find one locally to give it the hands on test.

I've sourced a Manfrotto Modo Mini locally that I can have a look at as well.

Up to now I think it's between these two for coming closest to what I'm after.

Regards
Mike.
