Hans mentioned his Velbon tripod the other day and it got me thinking...

My old lightweight Velbon is easily my favorite tripod. It's light enough to come along and set up quickly, yet just sturdy enough to stay put.

I've used both lighter tripods (too flimsy) and heavier tripods (get left at home).

This old fella has to be my favorite.

Here's what happened to my cheap ass Velbon CX-460 tripod. I've been using it in ~-18°C (shouldn't have done that probably), when the plastic suddenly cracked somehow and the middle thingy lossend up. Now it's like this all the time, but still usable though.
