I use a Linhof Technikardan 45 on a Gitzo 1348, with an Arca-Swiss B1 head. I'v e found this tripod to be extremely useful for LF. It is lightweight, versatile (it goes very high and very low), and extremely rigid. Even at its maximum ext ension, I can detect no vibration. As reported above, the leglocks can be hard on one's hands. However, they do lock the legs very effectively, and have no pr otruding levers to snag on foliage.
