I purchased this excellent tripod at B&H Photo in New York City.The Gitzo G1227 Mountaineer Reporter Mk2 is a very lightweight but very strong tripod. It will hold up to 17.60 lbs. which is plenty of strength for most camera and bigger lens configurations. It has quality construction written all over it and the thing I like best is the easy way you can change the height of the three tripod legs....

My favorite Gitzo
Strengths: Light weight, strong, easy to use, Gitzo quality, Lifetime warranty
Weakness: Price
This is an excellent everyday tripod that can be used conveniently inside a studio or packed for field use. Weighing in at only 3.4 lbs. with the rapid center column and standing 54.7 inches tall without the rapid column or 63.4 with the column fully extended this is neither the lightest or the tallest or the least expensive of all the Gitzos, but it is a great bang for the Gitzo buck for anyone...
