Trekking with the Gitzo is out of the question. But the Benbo is light an sets up in a few seconds. I find it indispensable for macro photography in natural settings. True, there will be some shake if you are using a Leica SL as I do. But I have found that by simply resting a finger lightly on the camera body while I trip the shutter release, the mirror slap is effectively damped. You will find yourself reaching for Trekker more often than not and it is a great tripod once you get the hang of it. Remember, these are only tools to achieve an end. No tripod is going to do it all for you. Damian - -- http://www.teleport.com/~damian/strings.htm
