Hi Mark, thanks for your reply. Do you find the RS-324 to big/heavy to take out & about? I have a Manfrotto monopod 679 that extends to 162 cm, (63.75"), this too has flip locks so this is all that I have been used to. Pete :D

Thanks Bradley, just checked the heights of the RS-283 against my old, unbranded, tripod that I've owned for 25 years or so and it is about 5 inches taller with centre column down & a few inches taller at max height. However my old tripod is not nearly as versatile as the RS-283 as legs are...

Hi, I have just come across this forum and have signed up and thought that I should say 'hello' and a slightly early 'Happy New Year to you all'. Pete
