Humm. Nether of your two post's made it to my inbox, so i cut this from the archives.
Thanks for the info Lon. I wonder if i have an older brouchere, as i only see one lock on the 300. I wonder if the 700 has it to. Thats good to know anyway. I might go with the 700 and not have to worry about a bushing. I took a look at the net, Googled Bogen 3D heads, and found a few reviews and stores. Unless i'm looking at the wrong ones, i just cannot see in my mind how they can turn upside down. for low macro. I'm sure they can but :-) Dave Brooks ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lon Williamson Tue, 28 Mar 2006 05:16:39 -0800 Oh, one thing I forgot: the 300/400 locks the centerpost with TWO adjustments, making post extension much more secure. My 3021 is very bouncy with even an inch of extension. David J Brooks wrote: Just pondering over the Slik Pro 700DX or the 400Dx models. They both have adjustable multi position legs and spread out quite close to the ground. Also removable centre column.
