shawn.... I looked at the Manfrotto site and they don't seem to show a 3040 tripod. They do have a 3046 which is rated to support 26+ lbs. Could you confirm that this is the unit you are selling? I may be interested.
From what I understand the 3040 was the predecessor to what is now the 3046; the 3047 head is still in production and has rubber grip handles now...If I am wrong will someone please advise? Also does anyone know if this tripod will securely hold a Wimberley with a large lens I was asked and did not know the answer!
