Aside from the impressive aesthetics, what are the benefits of a wood tripod versus the ones made of metal?Gulf Coast Guy wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2019 8:39 pm Talked to the folks at Oberwerk and was told they plan to offer their own P-Mount. Wood construction. I think she said late July coming in at around $550 with no Tripod.If it's as impressive as their TR3 wood tripod that would make a nice setup.
