Taken with the setup I described, Bogen 3xxx + 322RC2 head, pointed up.

It is hard to point higher up than this, but do you need that? If you
often do, then a 3 way head might be better.

I have borrowed a friend's manfretto tripod with a 322RC2 head once,
and I did not like how the grip obstructed you from tilting the camera
too far back. So if you were shooting up at something, you had to
have the camera mounted a certain way, with the grip to the side or in
the front. Is this just an amature mistake I'm making? Does everyone
else get around this somehow? I don't think adjusting the legs to get
an upwards angle is a good idea either....

a picture of me when I'm older." Where'd you get that camera man?
