With Al out of business, does anyone know if there is a source for nice
wood tripods?
Thanks!


Whats the big deal with wood?


Nostalgia, nothing more.


Bull.

Wood tripods look nice, they cost alot if they match a metal tripod in
terms
of rigidity. But there is no reason for wood other than looks, just
like there is
no reason for brass tubed refractors anymore.
