Yeah, we have the latest greatest laws of gravity here. There is so much that goes into tripod design, I suggest you read the links I routinely post from RRS and Gitzo that provides a bit of their design philosophy and process.

The 5 section legs are enough to turn me off ......
Not a problem - I used a 5 section tripod with only 3-4 sections actually extended for a while - I needed a tripod that could really pack small - and it did the trick.

Sounds interesting. Any Hoggers have experience with Fotopro tripods? Anyone know of any independent reviews? I just looked at the "Henry's" website (Canadian retailer) & Fotopro is not listed as a tripod brand thjey carry.
Just recently purchased a Fotopro after reading a post by Dr. Nikon..... What a gorgeous, light and seemingly really stable piece of equipment. Since I recently also switched to smaller and lighter M43, its prob. overkill; Love the thick and superlight tubes. I could not care less about trade imbalances, some nice stuff coming out of China. Give Fotopro a look... worthwhile.
