Comments about Velbon Velbon Ultra LUXi-L Aluminum Tripod with Quick Release PHD-1Q Panhead, Maximum Height 63", Supports 5.5 lb:

I love my velbon! It's not a heavy duty tripod, but it IS a real tripod that can support an SLR with some pro glass, and is light enough to carry easily and is crazy versatile. For a travel 'pod that can do the business, this is the shizzle. I use it back country camping/hiking and on motorcycle trips where size and weight are major issues. It has some stability limitations, but I'm willing to work around them.
