Dang right -- There are several Manfrotto and similar tripods, as well as fluid heads, in or through my house. Wife finds at GoodWill and sells on the internet. Kid you not. All weights and kinds. It's amazing. This wasn't the case when I got my current Slik. Today, I would go Doug and go early ... wife has not found the exact equivalent of my Slik, usually heavier or lighter rigs.

I do not entertain hypotheticals. The world itself is vexing enough. -- Col. Stonehill
