So I was digging around for a tripod and this is the one I have had for 20+ years. I acquired it when I had a Minolta SLR but even then it was overkill.


Minimum extension.



Maximum extension !



(and there's not even a stepladder included).


It positively dwarfs the FZ200





As you'd imagine due to its bulkiness it gets used very "not at all".


I am pretty sure it is designed for big video cameras and stuff.


Anyway...


1. Can anyone think of a use for this tripod or is it not worth keeping?
2. If I was to sell it how much should I ask for it, as a starting point ?
3. Can anyone recommend a good PRACTICAL tripod for me. One that wont blow over in a slight breeze (or even a brisk one preferably) but is lightweight and easy to carry (eg folds smaller than this one!)


Thanks for your help.
