6.9lb .... Hmmm ... Is that considered a 'lightweight' tripod ?

I think the most it can handle is 7.7 lbs. The tripod itself is 6.9 lbs.

maybe their last one weighed 10 lbs. therefore *this* one is lightweight

new and improved afterall ...

Pretty much every tripod sold at futureshop is junk. Literally. Not that they sell many.

Find a Manfrotto on sale and be happy with it for life. example (not on sale): http://www.lensandshutter.com/produc...y=item&id=1071

It's pretty unlikely you'll need to support 7.7lbs, especially if you're looking at $20 tripods... and if you have an expensive, heavier camera.. you don't wanna trust it with this junk to begin with. Get a quality tripod and protect your investment!
