Well this has me and the 14x17 on it. Walnut baby with a Gitzo 1570m head. I love my cam lock legs!

Here are a few more images of the tripod. It is made of Walnut and the legs are controlled by a cam-lock design. Very simple, effective and adjustable. I use this for my 22lb. 14x17 and my 16lb 11x14. It is rock solid. The legs are 38". I can extend it to about 70". I do not need to do that as I'm only 5'6".
