I know that I should use a good camera stand to hold my Sinar P2 4x5 in the stud io, but I already have a Manfrotto 3263 geared head. So, what tripod is extremel y stable? Most tripod threads seem to be about/for backpackers with field camera s, where the interest is weight, but my concern is only stability and freedom fr om vibration.

I like the info on the Linhof 3323, but 1t's VERY expensive.

Any recommendations?
