Q: 10. Will this tripod stand up to Alaska in March ?

A: I own and have used this tripod for 10 years, using it in Canadian winters when the temps get to -25C/-13F without any problems. I bought an Acratech ballhead which works perfect as a combo. Big investment that has given me years of trouble free use. If shooting in deep snow, sand or some other loose, unstable surface, I recommend you buy the Manfrotto retractable spiked feet attachment and the Manfrotto 230 all weather shoes (set of 3) that clip onto the spiked feet. I bought all of it here on B&H. That way you won't get that sinking feeling!
