I am looking at Manfrotto tripods
the 7322CY-BB sold at Best Buy and the 7302YB M-Y
the 7302 appears to be an aluminum version of the 7322 and half the price
Does anyone have any experience with these two?
Particularly the 7302--
as I can try the 7322 at the store but not the 7302
Please understand that I have a specific need for a minimal tripod
I need light weight and as short as possible folded
It will be used exclusively to take pictures of temples in Cambodia on a coming trip
It does not have to last forever or be stable in high winds
It does have to actually work for this application and not fall apart or "nod over"
and despite the ratings of about 7.5 lb both seem to come with suggestions of nothing larger than a bridge camera.
Heaviest possible setup for this trip for me is Nikon D300 with 17-55 f2.8 Nikon lens
Thanks
