Tripods


Need good lightweight tripod or monopod to carry in woods and mountains. Don't want to go for lungs but don't want to waste $$ either. Also head?? Was thinking Bogen 3221 w/head. or 3245 w/same ?? head. And maybe a suggestion on reasonable backpack for N60/N2020, 19-35MM/500MM/28-200MM/50MM. Hope I'm not asking too much...Thanks, Jim

  Hi Jim,
You are not asking too much. I just recently upgraded my tripod from the Bogen 3021 legs with the
3030 head to the new Bogen 3444 carbon fiber legs and the 3437 magnesium head. I love it! It is about half the weight and still rock solid. The 3021/3030 is an excellent combo; I went with another Bogen because I like how easy they are to work with.

I am not sure about the pack. Do you already own one?

  Backpacker magazine recently published a review of lightweight tripods suitable for backpacking; check the May or June issue, or you might find it online at www.backpacker.com
