Hmm... I can't afford a 4x5 flat bed camera,so I have to carry the blooy heavy Toyo to climb the bloody mountain in Spring.
Now I have a China made tripod,it's really heavy and dramatically unreliable(not always,I can't lock one leg).I want to buy a G1227 but I can't afford it before June,my friend told me I'd better to think about Linhof wood tripod,I never seen it before,do you have any idea with it? Thank you.
