Hang a camera bag down from the center. I'm not thrilled with the CF tripods of Gitzo, I must say. I don't own one, though I gave it some serious thought. What I don't like it that the leg-elements don't fall down when loosened. That makes it quite a job to set the thing up. I could see myself overcoming the high price if it weren't for the extra time I'll have to spend setting it up. I'm sticking to my metal Manfrotto. Does anyone else make CF tripods? Bernard
