				Hi all,
As part of my deal with Camera House, (always going to deal with Birdy in future) I received an Optex T565 tripod. Seems OK, sturdy, carbon fibre etc. Does anyone know much about these and should I start saving for a better one
Regards

You sure it's carbon fibre?  Because the T565 at:

is aluminium.  At $100 it looks like the ones Hardly Normal try to flog.
