I finally bought a new tripod today replacing the cheap (and busted!) tripod that I've put up with for the last six months.
I bought a Velbon Sherpa 600R with PH157Q head - $150 at TEDS.
Sure I love to be able to afford a manfrotto but I cant justify spending twice as much. I compared the Sherpa with a $350 Manfrotto and I couldnt feel or see much difference! The Sherpa feels rock solid even at its maximum height.

I took a series of photos of my daughter's set up 'tea party' to get used to the new tripod.

Combined and edited with CS2.
Love the PS work - looks like the tripod is going to get a good work out.
Brilliant idea with the picture!
Congrats on the tripod Smarti. The shots of your daughter are very cute! Big Grin
Very sweet. That photo's going to be special for a very long time.
Super composite - try that without a tripod!
Awesome pic! Here's to sextuplets! Big Grin
Careful what you wish for, Jules...
