I've been doing a bit of research looking for a second tripod.
In my research I came across this what I thought too good not to share...
Your choice depends on your application (no use bothering with carbon fiber unless you carry it long distances), budget, and degree of macho. (I once went backpacking with a guy who carried a cast iron frypan. He was proud of his strength. I thought he was nuts.)

yikes! Some people think I'm odd carrying a large steel wok (when walking with and cooking for a medium/large group), but a cast iron frypan truly is nuts!

I guess some people really enjoy cooking too much. As for me, I just enjoy the eating! :)
