Re: [cayugabirds-l] Un Sprgs Mill Pond, Scout Project

[william hecht]

GREAT IDEA to do plantings !!!
I would be glad to contribute a few disease resistant elm trees and years
ago my father and I dug up lily of the valley and daffodils that were on
that site.  These could be replanted.

[cayugabirds-l] Looking for a tripod- used if possible

[william hecht]

A friend has need of a good tripod for an unusual camera rig that is off
center and heavy.  Below are their requirements and maybe some of you out
there have suggestions for the tripod of ball head or actually have one or
all the components they need.

thanks

It should be sturdy enough to support 8 pounds.

Have no more than three leg segments.

Preferably made of carbon fiber.

Magnesium structure would be ideal.

The Manfrotto 190cx3 would be perfect.

My rig requires a ball head camera mount with quick release that can handle
a larger camera. I am considering the Manfrotto 054 magnesium ball head
with Q2 quick release.
