I'm sorry Larry, I wish I had a good suggestion for you, but I too am in
need of a decent tripod.
My search for one that is a.) of good quality, that will support the
weight of a DSLR and a moderately heavy tele lens b.) light enough that
I won't leave it behind, and c.) relatively inexpensive has proved
fruitless so far. The closest I've come was visiting the last local
full service camera store, and I happened in on a manufactures day.
IIRC the Manfrotto rep. had a lightish weight aluminum field/studio unit
with a very nice ball head, as a show special for about 1/3 regular
price. A great deal but beyond my budget at the time.
Haven't seen a deal that good since.

Well I don't have that problem, my crappy tripod is in the car, of
course I have no idea at this point where any of the plates are...

In my experience, when I remember to bring a tripod I don't end up
using it. When I need a tripod, I forgot to bring it -- it's at home.

I always thought the best tripod is the one you have with you.
Unless
you left all of the them at home.

Both provide ample evidence that disproves the notion that the best
