[Saltylady66]

I need some help locating a good sturdy light weight tripod for hiking. Please give me some ideas... thanks

There should be a thread or two somewhere in here that had quite a few posts, if you do some digging back a little.

I did that but could not find the answer; THEREFORE, the question... Please be ever so kind and answer my question.

Here's a pretty thorough discussion earlier on this page:

i have a quantaray QSX 2001 which is great for hiking...light weight and pretty sturdy.

yup.. someone did mention a thread not too long ago.

Good sturdy and stable doesn't always go together with lightweight... thats unless you spend some $$$. How much are you willing to spend?

I do like some of the Gitzo carbon fibre stuff but no way would i spend the cash.

Picked up a cheapo tripod for $7 at Micro Center the other day. It -is- light. It's no pintle mount but if all you're putting on it is 35mm it'd be fine.
