Hi Lalit,
Thanks for your time.
It sounds very similar to Gitzo 1541T, with less peice.
How do you compare it to the Gitzo one? It is even 2kg more load capacity.

Have you looked at buying a Canon wireless remote controller instead? I use them all the time for tabletop.

I bought one off eBay that is light weight and cost only £8.00. I was already aware that it was going to be sh*te, and i would get what i paid for. I wasnt suprised when i opened the box to find a tripod with plastic parts. It hardly manages to hold my 400D with a 90-300mm lens, i have to over adjust it to get it where i want it because when i let go it drops a few mm lol. Though for £8.00 it allowed me to take a few good shots of the moon (with alot of arsing about) and found that although i had a tripod i still had to use my remote control because it just wasnt as stable as a £35 + tripod. The one i bought was not a Gitzo, it was a totaly cheap ass nasty thing. lol

Hi All, Thanks for your inputs.
I am checking your suggestions.
I would like to get something good that I don't have upgrade it soon. I maybe don't mind a bit expensive one as long as it is a good one if it is not the best!
I already have a Manfrotto 728B. And I modified with a center column so I can use with a ballhead. It is a good tripod. Even though it has 3Kg max load capacity it is very stable for that load. But,
this is not real travel not real stable for rock solid. I bought this one years ago as one tripod and still works good. I had to replace one of the midle leg lock only.

I bought GT1541T and Markins Q3 and RRS lens plate x2 and camera L plate. All good. Just a little bit of panning lock problem on ballhead Markins q3. Not too happy with that.
