That will work, but it's an expensive and I feel unecessary addition of weight and complexity. The 3229 tilt head tilts 90 degrees each way so it's easy without a tripod collar to to portrait on either side. Sure you lose the ability to put the pod leg forward, but I feel this will only be with shorter lenses where it's not so necessary. The 3229's savings in weight, cash, and complexity really make up for that I feel. I mean you get a 3232, an AS clamp, and an L bracket, you're getting light in the wallet and heavy on the monopod. Does it make sense - maybe for some shooters. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
