Grey is OK!!!
 

Actually, I quite like the mid/dark grey (that's gray to our American friends) of the Libec tripods! Black is so "non descript" these days!

I only have the Libec TH-650 but the price/performance mix is excellent (about 150 quid in the UK.) I'm very happy with it on all but "full zoom" shots where it's not quite got the weight and stability needed (if you start fiddling around with the camera settings.)

But then I'm only too glad when I pack it up and walk home as it's really light in weight - unlike my camera bag which seems to be getting heavier every time I go out with all the sound and video equipment I'm slowly acquiring!
