See my earlier rant about the lack of uniform specifications for tripod and head performance. When it comes down to it, the only performance specification for tripod heads is weight, but they never say what it means, so who is to say that a 20lb manfrotto, 20 lb Induro, 20 lb RRC etc. perform the same. -- 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.
