Thanks... I've done some more research and looking at Benro Travel Angel II and the Manfrotto 293 (let me know if anyone has any others I should be considering). The 293 looks to be slightly smaller than the 190. I think both can be found for around $200. Anyone have any experience with these?

My latest moon shots have motivated me to start looking for a tripod... I think I'd like a travel tripod that is not too big when folded... any suggestions?

thanks,

Hi Michael,

I just bought the Manfrotto 190XPROB tripod with a 804RC2 head and I have to say that it is amazing. It is incredibly sturdy, and shrinks down to a good manageable size. It even has a couple small loupes so you can connect a shoulder strap to it.

Highly recommended.

Hi mscharff,

I purchased from the Web a WF-6662A Tripod last year. When I received it, I could not believe how sturdy and light it was.
I call it the poor mans Manfrotto, LOL and if you saw it you would know what I mean.
It is made by the WEIFENG Group and I highly recommend it for traveling.

Please see Pic for details.
