I think these Feisol tripods have been re-engineered, and haven't heard anything negative so far. Something like a 3442 looks appropriate for a lightwt 4x5. I personally
bought a CT3472 for my 8X10 for special travel needs, or as old age insurance when
my big Ries tripod might seem too heavy someday (it's half the wt of the Ries)- but it's overkill for 4x5. But there are other choices besides Gitzo and Feisol, like Induro.
