I've just acquired a really clean Burke & James Orbit 8x10 field camera. It's the same as an aluminum Calumet C1. My current tripod is only rated to thirteen pounds. Are there any economical tripods that can hold twenty pounds or so? I see a few surveyor's tripods on eBay. Would one of them be strong enough? I know I'd have to adapt the threads. I'm spending enough on the camera, lens and film holders, so a new Ries isn't an option at the moment. I'm not too concerned about weight, either.
Thanks, David
