Thanks, Jens.
I set it up (what is the word for it - it's not that you "unfold" it, so...?) and it's
not really a heavy wind tripod. Nevertheless it's the most sturdy one I possess now
and it will come handy as I plan to do some more careful shooting, both indoors and
outdoors.
It's good, but not like the real heavy wooden pro tripods that you see, and which some
of you landscape pros may be using.
Thanks,
Lasse
