I am thinking about getting a new tripod. I don't use the one I have much but the lock for the vertical pivot is slipping and I don't like the idea of that with a $700 lens hanging off the front... I found a Manfrotto tripod I like but in the description above the picture it says that it holds 8.8 pounds and extends to 62 inches. Both of which I'm not crazy about. If you look at the specs it says max height 52.5 inches and a max load capacity of 11 pounds... I'd like to have something that extended to at least 62 inches seeing as I'm just over 6' tall. Also would like it to hold more than 8 pounds. Is there something I'm missing as to why these numbers are different on the same item? I love the design of the tripod and the way that it pivots to different angles for over head shooting. Does anyone have this tripod?
Thanks guys!
