I recently had two tripods stolen from my car. One was a Manfrotto carbon fiber travel size tripod, I don't remember the model anymore. The other was a Manfrotto 055XPROB, a heavy 3 segment aluminum beast with a Manfrotto 410 geared head.

I generally used the heavier tripod for my Ebony RSW45 and the travel tripod when I was traveling with my Rolleiflex or digital cameras. I loved the weight of the travel tripod but also the stability of the 055.

I'm looking to repurchase, but would like to get a single tripod for both situations. Something light enough to travel with (and not break my back) but still sturdy. I was thinking maybe a 4 segment Manfrotto 190 carbon fiber tripod that I could swap heads on depending the situation.

Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm not stuck on the Manfrotto brand either, but it is available locally and what I'm most familiar with.

Thanks much!
