I have a question to those who own this tripod, or know about it. I have an 8 lb . monorail that I take out into the field. I chose this tripod because I felt i t was a lot of tripod for the money ( $139.99). I know people who would not use a quick release for a camera this weight, and some who do use the sturdy Bogen o nes. This quick release that comes with the DX 700 is somewhat scary to me. Acc ording to the B & H catalogue, the description says this tripod holds 15 lbs. Wh at is scary to me is that when you lock the quick release plate, all that happen s is there is a piece of metal that puts pressure on the plate to hold it in pla ce. It seems to hold it just fine so far in the house, but I haven't taken it ou t in the field yet. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.
