The 680 looks nice. I have a Bogen/Manfrotto that works very well for me. (not as compact as the 680 but supports a lot of weight) I use a tilt/swivel head on it with a Arca-swiss quick release to make switching camera and lenses faster. It actually balances very nicely with the new 500mm F4 lens. Can't wait to try this out on motorsports. Generally I've had good luck with bogen/Manfrotto products and would gothat route even if it cost a bit more. -- Christian http://photography.skofteland.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
