I've heard that the Gitzo G1127 has been recommended as a lightweight tripod for 4x5 use, but am wondering if it's not stable enough. I have the G1228 and it's fine for my Ebony SV45Ti with my lens set. Most of my lenses are all lightweight so weight isn't that much of a factor. Total weight won't exceed the 10 lbs the 1127 is supposed to hold. Question is, is it stable enough? I prefer the lighter weight of the 1127 plus the fact that there are fewer leg locks to deal with. I'm not a tall guy 5'5", so the max height isn't all that much of a factor either. Is the 1228 that much better than the 1127?
