Hello All, I'm looking for a lightweight, sturdy and flexible tripod that has the ability to slide the centre column very accurately (for macro shots where I want to raise it 1mm from where it's currently positioned). The maximum height I need out of it is 43 inches (109cm), and the shorter it folds up the better, though I still need it to be sturdy.
I've come across the Benbo Trekker Mk3 Compact Tripod which seems to fit the bill (apart from being a bit complex to set up, but I think I can live with that). Of course living in Australia it's hard to actually view this strange and exotic equipment, so I can't try one out for real (I can also save about $80 buy importing from B&H rather than ordering and buying locally - I'm willing to support my local to a certain degree, but not that much). Is there anyone out there with experience with the Benbo tripod or who has any other suggestions?
