Looking for tripod

[Noah B]

Hello all, I've been using a manfrotto 3021 with a 3047 head with my wista 8x10 and 240mm lens. I have a 3051 tripod, but its a bit too bulky for me to carry with everywhere. I'm looking for a set of manfrotto legs preferably that are fairly light weight but can still handle my 8x10. Any suggestions? My budget isn't too large.

What's wrong with your 3021?
Personally, I don't like the range of options offered by Manfrotto; there's a big hole where a lightweight yet heavy-capacity tripod should be.
I would look into other manufacturers, as there is a lot of decent competition out there.
Feisol, Induro, Slik, to mention a few.
