I am hoping that by following Morley's advice (There are no good pictures more than 50 feet from the car) I can keep using my 7x17 and 8x10 until I reach 90, in 3 years.
Well look for the Miller tripods on the bay used. New they cost a fortune. Any of the CF tripods with a 100mm bowl with a mid level spreader will work. I got an older one similar to the ENG models currently for sale. I got mine for about 400 USD. If you are looking at B&H then look at the Miller 1576 Sprinter II Two Stage Carbon Fiber Tripod or the ENG Carbon Fiber 2-Stage Heavy-Duty Tripod Legs (100mm Bowl). You can view the specs on these. The older models are similar in specs.
one milestone at a time.
I've seen Pete's Miller tripod with his 8x20, amazing setup.
