Richard, Richard I have been using the Bogen monopods for years. I like the Bogens better than the Gitzos mainly because of the way the legs lock. Friends who have used the Gitzo's on heavy long glass jokingly refer to them as the incredible shrinking monopod as the legs tend to lower on their own if you don't twist them hard enough. One plus the Gitzo's used to have (they may not do this anymore) was a lifetime guarentee. Harrison McClary hmphoto@delphi.com http://people.delphi.com/hmphoto
