Maybe another suggestion: manfrotto 719B digi, if you can find one.

digi tripods (I also have the 714b) combined with a heavy slr have the
tendency to tip over which looks ugly.

I haven't seen a 725B so I can't comment on it from experience. However I note
that it has 4 sections, which will make it less stable than a 3 section trip and
more of a faff to put up and down. For lightweight use I have a 190 with a

some suggestions:
- i do have a Velbon Sherpa Pro 640 which is lightweight and sturdy, i
can recommend it

As a complete setup, it's quite a bit more than your $200 price

hi,
one more query regarding tripods. ;-) basically, i am looking for a
lightweight tripod to carry with me on my motorcycle rides. since i'll
