Good Morning Sonny, the point on the vibration. dampening properties seems to be the main attribute? that no one mentions on reviews on Berlebach tripods, mainly how strong they are. With a side note to get double clamps to give you a little
margin of protection do to temperature shrinkage in the wood. I will look into a Belebach on my next mount a GM8 and go from there. The Belebach is also lighter than the Losmandy HD tripod by about 10 Lbs. Happy Skies to you.

Deric,
Wooden tripods have a history in the film industry for their stable vibration deadening properties.
I have an old Wooden Legged Tripod dating from the 1940's that is supposed to have been for holding a movie camera.
It's a Craig - Thalhammer Model. Made by the Craig Movie Supply Company, Los Angeles, California.
I'm surprised I found it online:
Just like this:?
Same-o, Same-o for wooden Surveyor's tripods. ;^)
