hi Luke,
I use Induro CLT-403 which is a 3 section, 9 weave carbon fibre tripod.
I specifically bought this one because it had reasonable leg diameter. The 3 sections are 36mm, 32mm and 28mm.
Centre column is a collet type lock which is probably the best i've seen and locks down securely. The centre column also has a groove in it so it has no sideways play. It is 32mm thick so again, very sturdy.
base plate is 60mm wide and has a standard 3/8" thread for attaching various heads.
my tripods are multi-use for photography with my SLR, for using with my 80mm refractor, or for mounting my spotting scopes.
cheers
Jeelan
