Appreciate that information @res

Been looking online at Gitzos tripods... I guess I have a few weeks of doing nothing (and no courier deliveries) to save for one.

Thanks people.

Facebook second hand photography groups are a good source of nice tripods, I got my gitzo tripod for half the cost of a new one and i looks like its never been outside

As Southcity said it is a real shame that Swarovski stopped making the CT 101 Travel CF tripod, not only were they reasonably priced but they had a good max and folded height. I have the same tripod and Gitzo head that Southcity mentioned and they were great value for money but the Gitzo head has also been discontinued.
Wilson Sports are still listing the CT 101 with the DH 101 head which is also a nice unit. Here is a link to their site,

At one stage Shooters World in Gore had a CT 101 carbon fibre tripod so it may be worth contacting them once things return to the new normal.
