Hi Luggers,
     
Any recommendations for the lightest weight, very sturdy, small size 
tripod for an M6 in the field?
     
Also, I have found the "twisty" method (e.g. Gitzo) for locking the 
legs is cumbersome and prefer the Bogen thumb tightening knobs that are 
easier, faster and more positive.  Any comments or recommendations of 
other manufacturers that offer such ease of use leg tightening over the 
twisty method?
     
Would be much appreciated for your help to save me on my next extended 
field trip.
     
Ken
