Tripod
Can anyone recommend a carbon fibre tripod where you can unscrew the central column to enable the tripod to go down to ground level. I dont want a tripod where you have to push the central colum up and have it flat on top of the head like some of the manfrotto ones. I have a manfrotto that does this and it is a pain in the butt having to do it. Much easier to unscrew the bottom part of the central column. Velbon do one like this but I have had one on order since March, and I am getting fed up waiting for it to come through, - if it ever does.
I can't fault Vanguard tripods. The new VEO3 GO models look amazing.
Certain models come with a Low Level adapter

My carbon fibre Manfrotto tripod has a removable centre column (in fact I've never used the central clumn) but I've had it for many years so I doubt the model is available these days.
The point is, a removable centre column, or as Phil suggests, might be worth noting.

The manfrotto tripod that I have has a removable central column as well. I always found it a hassle and time consuming. I know a friend who has a Venbon hand you can unscrew the central column which is a lot quicker. I am jusy getting fed up waiting for Velbon to send it through.
I bought a second column from Manfrotto, only 3" long, never had the old column in the tripod since. Perhaps they do one for yours?
