I have a Manfrotto tripod on one of their dollies, however I modified my leg set so that I can insert split pins into the release locks so that the legs are free to be raised and lowered without the angular click-stops. This means that all I need to do is release three telescopic leg locks and I can raise and lower the tripod without having to use the centre column, in fact I can remove and cantilever the centre column on this particular tripod. It works quite well, is very functionally flexible and it's easy to pack away. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
