Hi Alan! Thanks a lot, your experience is very valuable to me. Your comments on #168 head are same as Bob's, so I will avoid it. Propably if I can't get a nice Gitzo I will look at the 352RC. The wooden ones you talk about are I think from Belebach in Germany, I one considered buying a very cheap wooden monopod from them, but before the order came through to them, thay rised the price by 30%, so I cancelled and got a Manfrotto one (434B 3-section, a damn good one but very bulky for general carrying about). But I heard praise about their wooden x-pods, and wood is still best at cancelling vibrations. I was considering the 455 tripod as they lowered the price substantially (30%) as it's being succeeded by the 055 I think, but perhaps the Berlebach would be better (I fear much expensive too).
