There are people who actually have owned and used Gitzo/RRS/AS AND Benro/Induro and there are those who only have owned Gitzo/RRS or Benro/Induro. Can we identify who is who? It would be interesting to see who just owns Gitzo/RRS and have never owned Benro/Induro and people who owns Benro/Induro and have never owned Gitzo/RRS.

I identify myself as owning Gitzo, Benro, Bogen/Manfrotto and Slik - all carbon fiber. I use them almost all equally. The Gitzo 1325 is a little heavy so it doesn\'t get much use. I use the Bogen the most because of its quick release. They are all still working!

Also, isn\'t higher grade aluminum like 7000 series are harder and higher quality than 5000 series but are easier to snap? Just a thought.


there are many alloys to choose from and then there are the sub alloys of these. each has its own qualities when manufactured. most lighter series alloy carabiners are made 7000 series alloys as an example so that puts that \"easier to snap\" issue to rest. at least I hope as I have spent enough time hanging from them.
