I have been doing some research for a new tripod. I'm leaning towards the Slik 624 CF. seems to be a good size/weight/$$$ ratio for me. I was thinking to top it off with a Benro S2. It will mainly be for my 65mm vortex razor to go on some mountain hunts. Would like to hear if its still recommended from the people who have had them for a couple years now, as most threads I read were a few years old. Is there anything in that price range that I should also look at and more important. Where did you buy it from is there any stores in Canada that sells the slik 624?
