So... what your saying is that your a huge fan of Bogen tripods, eh? LOL... Thanks though. You hit it on the head... > The flip lever style of lock will barely hold the > weight of the tripod when new <snip> I guess that's the type I'm talking about, and the other one is the snap lock that you mentioned. Or do I still have it backwards? <sigh> Anyway, I see your point either way: Your vote is for a different tripod altogether. Can't say I have the money now (just got the two new DA* lenses) but I'll keep that in mind. Either way, the damn thing is supposed to hold up to 26 pounds... so it's a little frustrating that it can't do what it's supposed to (but then I guess that's your point). > either the 028, which is a very heavy beast, I cannot even fathom getting a HEAVIER tripod than I already own. As it stands, the 3036 is about twice my body weight (at least it feels that way sometimes). Anyhow, thanks again! I'll let you know the verdict. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
