It's funny how true certain truisms are about buying a succession of tripods until you finally spend $BIGNUM on the good stuff.
My attempts at photographing Saturn a few nights ago has prompted me to switch from my manfrotto plate system and move up to arca swiss. I'm considering the Induro BHD3 or BHD2. Any comments or suggestions? Is there another off brand (benro?) that makes a similar unit that is just as good, but much less expensive? http://www.amazon.com/Induro-BHD3-Ballhead-Black/dp/B002SXMRX0/ www.amazon.com/Induro-BHD2-Ballhead-Black/dp/B002SXMRWQ Question: BHD vs BHL: Right handed versus left handed? Also, since I don't have the money to replace all of my heads, it looks like I can replace the clamp on the ball head that I use with my monopod with one of these, and keep the same plate on my camera for both tripod and monopod use. Any warnings, or tales of woe? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0086AJ4AS/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0087QK9TG/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 My heaviest rig, at the moment is the K-5 with either the Bigma 50-500 or the adaptall 300/2.8 (John knows this lens). I don't anticipate getting any lenses that are much larger in the near future. I'd probably get more telephoto image quality for my money buy mounting a Q to the glass that I already have. -- Larry Colen [email protected] http://red4est.com/lrc -- 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.
