Very lightweight and very stable. Very comfortable to carry with the strap. Carry it head down. I'm convinced that the carbon tripods dampen vibrations much better than metal tripods. The 1228, when folded, will pack easily in carry-on luggage. Great great tripod. Jim At 10:34 PM 12/16/99 -0800, Steve Caspersen wrote: > > Looking for tripod recommendations.
