I have a Manfrotto 484RC2.It's a bit heavy in hand but not, I think,on your shoulder...So far it's worked really well for me.

But...until this thread,I didn't even know there was a thing such as 'quick release',lol.And that is definately something I would like...I hate having to spin the cam around and around and the camera strap keeps getting caught over and over again!

For my birthday I got a humidifier and a de-humidifier... I put them in the same room and let them fight it out.
