They don't ring, they are much stronger, and they are much harder to damage. If you ding the leg of a metal tripod, you can run into some problems with legs that no longer close, or in a worst case scenario, a leg that can fold under a heavy lens/camera system. If you damage a wood tripod leg, you get out the sandpaper and varnish. I keep forgetting about Berlebach tripods. William Robb - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
