Looking for a shooting Tripod principally for precision/competition shooting. I want to avoid the BOG infinite as its ballhead diameter is too small to hold the load i'm looking for. I've been looking at 2 tripods. The Fatboy Elevate Three section tripod

and the Sunwayfoto T4040CS

Sunwayfoto T4040CS

The Sunwayfoto tripod looks interesting as it can hold up to 88lbs and has 40mm Carbon fiber legs and at $499.00 is $175 less than the Fatboy and yes, the Sunwayfoto is made in China. I know that the Fatboy is probably better quality wise but I'd like to save a little money. Has anyone ussed the Sunwayfoto T4040CS? If so what is your opinion of it as compared to the Fatboy shooting tripod?

Thanks
 
I highly recommend that you spend a few extra bucks and get a proper shooting tripod from the get go. Ive had lesser tripods from Manfrotto and the likes, none of them are up to the standards of what Two Vets are offering.
