I've had both the tripod and the JTs. The aluminum tripod now collects dust in the basement of the house. It will be on Craigs List after Mothers Day.

One of the biggest disadvantages to the tripod was its limited range of adjustment for height. This 3400 is long, and with any incline to the camping spot, the tripod either didn't fit at all, or was so far into the upper or lower height adjustment is was only partially effective.

The JTs always fit. The JTs were expensive, but produced much better results than the tripod, which was not cheap either. Overall the satisfaction per dollar was a much higher ratio with the JTs.
