Jay, unfortunately cannot refer to Velbon, but I certainly agree with you in regard of Pop Photo to be always biased to the higher investor. In fact, I never trust their gear reviews (unlike Practical Photography - british magazine which is much more informative and s approaching to e honest in their equipment ratings). I would rather try online photo gear review sources rated by actual users of particular gear (search photo.net, photographyreview.com, photozone.de and many others)

I use a Elan7e and my heaviest lens is a 70 - 200 f4.0 and am looking for a lightweight tripod to use while hiking. This one got a pretty good write up in pop photo but that could just mean that Velbon is a big advertiser with them. I know, I know I'm taking cynicism management classes but they haven't kicked in yet ;-) Thanks for the help and sorry for the semi off topic question.
