Hi James,

The way I tested tripods before getting one, was by extending everything all 
the way, and wobbling the head back&forth.  The only one that didn't have its 
legs go all floppy&jumpy was a Gitzo.  Which is interesting, because it also 
doesn't feature inter-leg connections halfway down, like many do.

In use, my Gitzo has always felt as rock solid as since that day.  I'm using a 
Manfrotto 3-way head, others prefer ball heads, and that's where the real 
difference in usage is.


Peter.
