Hi Phil
Which carbon fibre tripod did you get? I've had a search for them. I found =
"Gitzo GT0541 tripod" which extends up to 142cm (should that be OK for heig=
ht?), weighs only 0.78kg which sounds great, but, costs 276 English pounds,=
 which is more than I was hoping to pay. Did you find a cheaper one?

Also, didn't someone mention they were looking for a mic stand that they co=
uld use as a walking stick? Well, while searching I found this:

Wouldn't suit me as it looks like it will only work on level ground, but mi=
ght please whoever was searching for that!
