Does anyone know the difference between a giant field tripod vs. a standard or deluxe field tripod? I don't know what I have. I cannot find any pictures on the internet.

The giant field tripod ships with the 12" LX200; it weighs 50 pounds plus. The leg spreader design uses a T-handle instead of a star pattern knob found on the deluxe field tripod.

Hi, Janet. Easiest way to tell a Giant tripod is the legs are 3" in diameter rather than the 2" diameter legs on the HD adjustable field tripod.
