    Got that Linhof tripod head,a great head and will support a 50 pounds 8X10 Color Kardon Linhof Camera.The head is worth $270 and can be fitted to other tripods.Tripod itself can only be use in studio.

    Not for backpackers. It's a rather specialized stand for portrait work. Anyone having a large smooth-floored studio and intending to do mostly portrait work would find it great. If, on the other hand, some of the studio work were products and other work demanding high and low viewpoints, something else would be more versatile.

    Whenever I have a physical, I look with envy at the stands that support the X-ray machine head. What a great camera stand one of them would be.

    Linhof also made a stand with a pivoting side arm that could be swung up and down to extend the height adjustment. Ever so often an ancient Saltzman stand shows up at near giveaway price if you have enough ceiling height to accommodate it. I'm afraid shipping cost to Sweden would be prohibitive, though.
