Are those human-height tripods?
What's the diff betw 6600 and 8000?

Btw, how do you carry a tripod around? Can it be folded to half its length or something?

Thanks Auntie Landes!

hheheeeee

Anyway, You can get a Slik tripod bag at CP at abt $13 (I think) to house the tripod. Alternatly, you can DIY a tripod sling so that you can carry it like a sling bag.

Yes,I own one & its supports SLRs rather well, my set up is about 1.2-1.5kg. But i mainly use indoors.

Will the Slik 8000 be safe for S40 and a Sony Digital8 video camera?

i am sure it is ok for the s40 but not too sure about the video cam...
can any ClubSnapper answer this?

 

[blizzy]

got my slik u800 today
the supposed weight limit is 2kg....
but if ur cam got all those zoom lenses... may not be stable cos the thing protrude out so much.

take note of this...

`Attaches easily onto still, and video cameras.
just align the quick shoe along the length of the camera body, and tighten with a coin`


???

what a hassle?
and does it come with water mark?

rather interested in the tripod bag..any photos?
