... Other than wood, is steel or aluminum best for a tripod? Without trying to stir up an issue, it depends on what your NEEDS are... As they say, bells are NEVER made of wood... For vibration damping, wood is about as good as it gets... But there ARE some advantages to metal tripods. And there are some very good ones on the market... Again, it depends entirely on your NEEDS... Personally, where possible, I prefer wood... -- Jan Owen To reach me directly, remove the Z, if one appears in my e-mail address...

I'd go for ali, unless you like the weight of steel!
