Manfrotto Professional Studio Tripod Model 074 (now 190XPRO) complete with Slik Professional Ball Head.
System new costs $900 plus taxes. Extends to 76 inches.
This bad boy is heavy so unless you've got arms like Popeye you won't be taking this for a hike in the woods.
This tripod is the ultimate in stability. This is located in Nanaimo but arrangements can be made.
