It the Bogen 3046 studio tripod. It weighs 10 lbs. without the tripod head and matched up with a 3047 head it'll tip the scales at 13 lbs......no more damaged lenses, just broken toes! lol.

24-70 dropped and distorted the rear coupling. Out of warranty so I pulled it apart and fixed it myself (don't try it, you have to know what you're doing). Now it works fine.
Tonight my 85 1.8G (2nd newest lens) fell out of my dry cabinet because I hade a freakin' neck strap on the camera I was pulling out and it must have caught the lens and pulled it out. I don't like neck straps even more now
Latter is under warranty. It'll be fine only the aperture isn't opening. It's pretty easy to fix, the aperture spring gets knocked out easily and the Nikon tech will fix it in no time. I'm not fixing that myself, in warranty Nikon can do it for me.

I'll pass. Not really practical for a nomad... or... well who IS it practical for? Someone shooting in a hurricane?
And 2 lenses were damaged from a bathroom hook. I actually begrudgingly put my bag on the ground or really really double check it before letting it hang for paranoia now.

Oh! That very night! Looks like I gave you the curse of the lenses.
Does this mean I'm free? Maybe I'll never break one again the rest of my life.
