Is the 52cm closed length inclusive or exclusive of the included head? Ditto for the other measurements. Thanks.

hi firefox... Did a check and the 52cm closed length is inclusive of the standard ballhead.

sorry terry... borrow your thread.

some people asked abt how much weight the tripod can hold, whether its sturdy or not... etc... i've just collected my tripod, and, well...

(D200+grip, SB800 and Sigma 100-300mm/f4 with centre column fully extended)

(close-up. think the enterprising CSers can go online review sites to find out the total weight)



... enuf said, i think.

overall - a great, value for money, sturdy workhorse of a tripod. :thumbsup:

small niggly problem cum suggestion, parkertR - the ballhead QR plate release lever is very stiff. dunno if it will get better with usage or inherent from manufacturing process. also, for future upgrades to the ballhead, mebbe u could find out if u could include some degree markings for people who likes to do pano. a simple spirit level would be nice too. me 2cents.... :sweatsm:

If anyone's interested in the tripods, the "Buy Now" price is $140 and they'll be available on mon/tues. We're going through all the tripods on sunday to make sure they're alright QC! haha... the MO that Terryw83 did is closed and stocks for that will be later...should be here before aug 8

A friendly reminder to those who purchased the PPCP Pro Tripod - Pls do not remove the sticker - removal of the sticker on the ballhead voids the 1 year warranty that PPCP provides... thanks!

Got the long-ordered and paid tripod due to arrangement between PPCP and me... Very accommodating and wonderful retailer...

Upzzz!!! :gbounce:
