Flip/Lever Lock Tripod?

[Whisky]

I've been looking for a Slik Pro 624 CFL. No luck, yet.
Are there any viable replacements that can support an 85 mm spotter on a Micro Pan Head, weighing less then 3lbs? (MUST be lever lock). I've looked into a few different brands and they are all twist lock.

Thanks

Do your self a favor and stop looking. The 624CFL was discontinued for a reason and not replaced. All the better tripods are twist lock today. The entire new Slik lineup, start with the CF before the #, have new improved twist locks. Manfrotto does have an excellent small tripod with flip locks, though I suggest twist, the MKBFRLA4BK-BHUS, normally $189.88, would be $169.99

Thanks. I contacted Manfrotto and the head weight is .88 lbs, so 2.6lbs for the legs without the head. That may have to work.

Check out the Sirui ET-1204 Carbon Fiber Tripod. I picked one up on Ebay for about $180. I too insisted on flip lock. One handed adjustment on uneven terrain is so much easier with flip lock.

The ET-1204 is a great tripod. We have it just legs or with the e10 head. The kit with the head is normally $259.90, would be $207.92. The legs alone would be reduced from $199.90 to $159.92. These prices are good thru the end of the year

This is a damn good price.
