Most so called 35mm tripods are a precarious place to put and shoot your camera at eye level. Eye level is a long ways up. Do you really think you are going to use that tripod if you need to slump over or crouch down to use it? It's why tripods don't get used. A tripod designed to use a twice as heavy but waist level medium format camera could be in my opinion ironically made much lighter than a eyelevel 35mm. How about that Tiltall? I hear they've fixed it up and are trying to sell them. Classic for the Leica if you ask me! Mark Rabiner
