carbon tripod for 8x10

[sanking]

Hello,

I have not yet an 8x10 camera but I am really thinking of getting one. I use hasselblad and a graflex and was thinking of replacing my tripod.

The question is do you thing the Gitzo G1348 is enough for an 8x10 like Shen hao?? or shall I go for the G1548 ?

Thanks for your comments,

Vincent

Have a look at the Giotto 8160 carbon fiber tripod. Holds up to 22 lbs and modestly priced at $260 from B&H.

I've become a fan of Linhof tripods. I recently bought a used twin shank tripod for not too much money that I'm using with a 7x17 camera, and it would very nice with an 8x10. It only weighs about 7 pounds, has retractable rubber/spike feet, and is very sturdy.

I own both the Gitzo 1325 and 1548 carbon fiber pods. The 1548 is more rigid, but also quite a bit heavier. So I end up using the 1325 with Arca B2 head more often and find it supports my older 14-pound Arca 8x10 just fine in the field.
