    I can't recommend a tripod unless Acer gives me some sort of
idea as to how he will be suing it. Field or urban use ? If both,
projected percentage of either. Parameters for use: Speed ? 
Durability ? Weight ? Precision framing ? Type of terrain (mud,
 rocks, etc) Cost ? What's the hierarchy, Acer ?

     I don't think one could do better than an old Luna-Pro or Sekonic.
