I've done a little bit of shooting using to brace my shooting position and even less shooting directly from the tripod. It seems the guys that use them a lot, like for PRS, are pretty quick to spend more for nicer tripods (e.g., RRS), but for my fairly light and amateur requirements I have no complaints so far. CF legs seem to dampen vibration faster that aluminum. Twist lock legs are pretty fast but a matter of personal preference. Same for ball vs pan head.
