I use a Bogen/Manfrotto 3011 with a Slik Pistol Grip Panhead.

I use it with my Swift Telemaster Spotting Scope and both my Mavica FD97 and my 828.

I know it sucks to carry around a HEAVY Pod but for a heavier camera or the like I find it tolerable.

If your looking for zero camera shake on long focal lengths or tedious macro you need a rock steady pod. ESP at ISO64!!

I had a Velbon of the same size but lighter weight..... it didn't cut the mustard.
Dunno if this helps.....just my 2 cents if it's worth that?

Very pleased with it, inspite of it's weight.

If you are thinking about ever shooting panoramics, get a tripod with calibrated head.
