Tripod is a little over 5 pounds w/o head. I use a Giotto medium ballhead as it is reasonably light weight at 13oz. With the Q-top QR head I would guess the whole shebang weighs in at a little over seven pounds. Heads can make a big difference in
overall weight. The large Giotto head weighs about two and a half pounds for
example, and many heads are well over three pounds.

I guess I have not solved tripods yet. I have aimed for lighter weight with some rigidity as if I am going to strap it to my backpack and walk all day with it when I never carry one anyway. So I suppose that if the only time I use one is when it is accessible from the back of the car it does not matter how much it weighs.
