Re: Microphone Tripod

["Rory" rory_ca2]

Gitzo and Manfrotto both make sturdy, carbon fiber tripods. The main
difference between them is the way that the legs lock. People do tend
to have a preference for one or the other of the locking mechanisms.

Myself, I use a Gitzo G1325. Recently, Gitzo made some design
changes, including a change to the locking mechanism. The new version
of my tripod is called the GT3530LSV.

I originally bought this tripod for photography, but now I also use
it for audio recording. Arguably, you could get by with a lighter,
less sturdy model. However, when I have $3,000 worth of microphones
mounted on my 1325, I'm not really tempted to get a slighter tripod :)

Cheers.
