LOL!  Albert, it's the old rule:

"The more you curse the tripod on the way, the more you bless it when
you arrive."

I too have two.  The Gitzo is handy and OK, but the Bogen 3051 heavy,
bulky, cumbersome and solid as a rock.

I'm thinking about adding a Uni-Lock for low level work.  It's the
so-called improved version of the Benbo concept.  Anyone have any
experience with it?
