Equipment recommendation questions should be specific about budget and goals, yet general enough to be useful to as many readers as possible. Equipment recommendation answers should be worded to be as useful as possible to the broadest range of readers, and when possible account for future price drops (for bargain hunters looking for a cheap "older" camera) to improve the longevity of such topics.

What tripod is this? Can you recommend something similar or better?
Since you asked for 'something better', I have to recommend the Gorillapod SLR Zoom by Joby.
Great for travel, and can handle a 5D2 (sans grip) and a 24-105.

What are the pros/cons of Nikon AF-S 17-35 versus AF-S 16-35?
