I have to get a light tripod. My Manfrotto weighs too much to carry around in the bush.
Besides, I appear to have lost the quick release plate. Which means it's unuseable until I replace the thing.

Exactly my point, for similar weight you have saved aa lot of money. And exactly what I did when I bought the Benro, unfortunately the quality wasn't what it could have been. I had the Benro M-128, they did make improvements inthe C-128.rwfox wrote:However, the Gitzo GT1541 cost around $620 without the additional base. So regardless of what you put on top, the copy is about $400 cheaper.
Sorry, I don't understand this, changing what?rwfox wrote:But I think you would get feed-up changing it all the time.
