Why do 'video' tripods always have the five bars next to each other, and when extended go 1-2-2 (from low to high), whereas 'still' tripods don't. They just have the tubes.
It's not because they're beefier right?
Manfrotto tripods are supposed to carry 8kg (the 055 series anyway) and I've seen lots of 'video' tripods that can 'only' carry 6kg or something.
