I had a Sirui T-025x that was, if I remember correctly, about $175. It was a good light tripod, I recommended it to several folks who’ve been very happy with it.
(I sold mine when I realized I wanted something that I could also use with the Hasselblad. The Sirui was too light for that. I replaced it with the Peak Design Travel Tripod and am pleased with that. It’s only barely larger and heavier, can handle a lot more weight stably, but costs quite a bit more. ) I can recommend a backup system that I know is reliable … I’ve been using it for 16 years and have not yet lost a file, despite losing about four hard drives along the way. Let me know if you want my write up. :) G > On Sep 19, 2021, at 6:11 PM, Rick Womer <rickpic...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I seem to have lost my Velbon Maxi343-E tripod (the model Herbert Keppler > recommended a few decades ago). > > It is no longer made.
