I tried a different approach on my last trip: I used the Novoflex Basic Ball tripod, and one (carbon fibre) telescope rod accessory. http://www.novoflex.com/en/products/camera-support-systems/macro-tripods/basicball/ I used a Leica ball head mounted on the Basic Ball. http://en.leica-camera.com/photography/m_system/accessories/tripod_accessories/2200.html
My objective was light weight, and compactness. I think this combination worked well, and held my K-7 with DA*200/2.8 and 1.4x(L) rock steady. The telescoping rod acted both as a monopod, and as a third leg on the tripod. -- &i (: -- 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.
