Velbon SX-601 tripod made of lightweight aluminum, with a convenient carrying case. - Brand: Velbon - Model: SX-601 - Accessories: Carrying case - Material: Aluminum It's very sturdy. I used to put a medium-format camera on it, so I could take stable shots without blurring. Also, the legs have spiked feet, so it can handle any kind of footing. With carbon fiber or thin-legged tripods, it can be shaky, but this one is heavy and stable.
