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:

You can put a spirit level on top of your camera. Also if your ballhead panning is not levelled, the pano will be slanted.......

For SGD 140 this tripod is already a steal.....

Extending your centercolumn that high, is not very stable for your setup BTW. I just hope it was only for info purposes?

Hi Terry - this was what I meant...instead of going off-centre in portrait mode with your set up (and having the quick release plate worryingly vertical :bigeyes: ), add a quick release plate to the side of your camera for portrait...

When you want to go portrait, simply release the camera, turn to portrait mode and connect back in - also allows you to easily pan in portrait

Cheers for the pic anyway !!

what is your purpose in digging up 2 year old threads to post this? the best part is that ppcp has closed shop, they have had their hiccups now and then but i have used them quite a bit, i was generally quite pleased with the service even though there were sometimes very exasperating lapses in communication.
