Hi Justin
The tripod I have is the Manfrotto Carbon One 433.
The nearest I found to it now is the Manfrltto 190CXPRO3 which Morris Photo=
graphic had for =A3209.95 plus the head. Manfrotto do the 190XV which is no=
t carbon fiber but costs =A395.95 plus a head. Again Morris Photographic ha=
ve it on offer.
Any decent photographic tripod should do, it does not have to be made of ca=
rbon fiber. I bought the one I have mainly for using with a telescope but d=
ecided to put it to good use when put recording.
If there is a bit of wind around I often hang my bag I have all my kit in o=
n the tropod, it adds more weight and makes things a little more stable.
Use Google and find the best deal.

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!
