I've got a EOS-3 with the PB-E2 motor drive. I do mount it on the tripod collar, but head movements can't be tightened enough to stop the head from slowly flopping over with the combined weight of the EOS-3, drive, and 3 lb. lens. The Arca-Swiss B1 does seem to be very popular, but I hear that it has a tendency to jamb. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
