Re: Support for big glass

I too find that they have gotten less sturdy over the decades. I had one from 
the 70's that even after being beat to death for a decade was more solid than 
the one I have now from the 90's. The current ones I have seen in the stores 
seem not as good as the one I have.

I do not like what Manfrotto has done with the 3021 series.  The latest
incarnation does get low, but the section where legs meet centerpost is
much less solid than that supplied on 3021 (or 3001, for that matter) a
few years ago.  And, with the new flipper leg locks, extending the lower
leg sections makes it ring like a bell.
