Portable is easy. Buy the largest tripod that doesn't give you a hernia the first time you pick it up, then carry it with you everwhere you go for a month. After that it will be very portable.
I don't know of a place that compares them, but I've always suspected that the Gitzo Mountaineer Carbon Fibre tripod was the end-all-be-all of lightweight heacy duty tripods. It is even cheap enough that it fits on most credit cards. On Tue, Jun 28, 2005 at 04:32:57PM -0400, Duenas, Patricio wrote: >I am checking between Gitzo and Manfrotto.
