HI Folks,
I am thinkning of sinking some money into a carbon fiber tripod (gitzo 1228G with geared center column). I use a Bogen 3036 that I am finding doesnt have ideal dampening for my application (binoculars with a Universal Macrostar mount, about 15-20lbs - I use a giro wiht the 3036 for my 4" apo and it seems to do fine for that setup). Also concerned about weight as I will be travelling with this setup.
How do carbon fiber tripods handle? they sound so light, I am concerned about stability compared to the stuff being mounted on top. I've heared that they do improve dampening.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for reading,
Sanders
