There is no other tripod that complements Wisner cameras like Ries Tripods. We are quite certain that wooden tripods hold up better to the outdoor elements of sand, dust and grit than metal tripods. Surely you have encountered gritty aluminum tripods that don't slide well or jam easily.

The Ries heads are a wonderful, rigid, elegantly simple design capable of supporting the heaviest camera in the most awkward position without budging. We have even supported 8x20 and 12x20 cameras sideways to take vertical images.
