RRS definitely has the Bling Factor down. The Gitzo appears low tech
industrial in comparison. RRS also gives a 50 lb rating compared to the
similarly sized Gitzo 3's 40 lb rating.
My abused Manfrotto appears to have most of the movement where the center
post is clamped. I think they've improved that.
