This article is easer to read than the printed one. It looks like some words were cropped out because of the picture of the tripod.

Thanks for the note, Cary, and apologies to all of our print subscribers: a faulty photo wraparound, which we thought had been corrected during production, obscured words in the 3rd and 4th paragraphs of this article in its original print run. You can also read the corrected version in its virtual print layout by clicking on the “get the digital edition” button, above left.

Would be nice to provide links to internal reviews on the tripods and to the quality manufactures. Just trying to help increase your time on site and page views... ;-)

"The Benro and Weifeng tripods often appear in the U.S. under OEM or private-label brand names, such as Giottos and Induro. "
Totally false! Giottos has no relationship with Benro and is not a Chinese mainland company. They are a Taiwanese company under Taiwanese ownership that like many other companies has a factory of their own in China.
