thanks so much for the info. As said in my post, I use metal tripods but at work there could be some CF ones. Good news to know they could be repaired. Thanks for the post! Best regards. Matteo

Just my personal opinion: good, sturdy tripods are 1-big and heavy load; 2-quite expensive. They involve some other equipment like backpacks or bags or a specific bag to take them around safely and "comfortably". So, check the bag or backpack you already have to be sure you can store the tripod in it . My experience: my Manfrotto 055 is too tall to be secured on the front of my Tamrac Exp. 7x so I have to keep that secured filling two legs in the side of the b.pack. and the combo (p.pack, camera, lenses, tripod, water, jacket or raincoat...) Is HEAVY!!! Surely you can walk many hours with that on your shoulders but it's a matter of will. Otherwise, as you wrote that you rarely use a tripod, perhaps you'll never want to take around so much load. just search the market for a product that's suitable for your purposes and your photography.

I also used 190 family and 055 family (always metal) ones for some equipment at work and find them really strong and durable . You can storage them without care in a car with lot of other packs and bags of equipment. But some colleage told me to beware because carbon ones are much more sensible to hurts. Sound strange but it was other people's field experience. Great equipment in my experience. Matteo
