Hi Mike

Just some background information on an experience I had 2 or 3 years ago when I tried a CF tripod (can't remember the brand) in a camera shop. When extended, the legs flexed quite significantly at the twist-style leg locks, even though there seemed little sign of any looseness as I slid the legs out.

Once fully extended (legs only, not centre column), the whole tripod was very bendy and really quite useless. If you can try before you buy, it might be a good thing.

Cheers

Dennis
