I love my Benro C-1691, that might be eye height for 6 foot 1. I can get it way above my eye height (I'm 5"9 though), I dont think I've ever even extended the bottom legs.
Thanks for the suggestion - this looks like a great product, but way above my current budget as I am trying to save up for the K-5

I can lower my height a lot just by spreading my legs.
Call me old-fashioned, but I haven't met a tripod yet that I'd be willing to spread my legs for on the first shoot

Have you ever used a monopod?
Yes! That's exactly why I am looking for a lighter tripod! I only take the monopod with me on trips anymore because the old tripods are so cumbersome in comparison. I am looking for something similarly light and portable that will provide a stable platform for longer focal lengths or longer exposures than the monopod.
Thank you all for your input. I couldn't find a product more compelling to me than what I listed above, so I pulled the trigger last night on the purchase. PF will be getting its cut of my B&H purchase
