Love my 42mm tripod but desperately waiting on the center column to be available!!!??! Its been two years been asking for it... If I had known they weren't going to make the center column for the larger diameter tripod, I would have purchased the 34 series...really don't want to have to buy another tripod just to get a center column. Please please please make the 42mm center column!!!???
30d? lol. how old is this video? (i love a gimmick, btw, but man, thats a ton of extra weight just to put the flash right above the lens. If it were intended to get the flash further away from the camera, or actually to the side making it more like an off camera flash look without carrying around a lightstand, that would be a cool idea. I'm guessing this business is no longer selling these.) cool idea, though.
My favorite was the really expensive satchler fluid head. It offers a really nice variable resistance for great stability. Although, the head is $10k+ by itself. 😅
The HB70 is 3 inches long, and the HB2, which you currently have, is 5 inches long. The HB2 can be mounted on either side with enough space. If you prefer a shorter handle, you can use the HB70QR. For a dual handle setup, you can use both the HB2 and HB70.
The Elk (Cervus canadensis), also known as the wapiti is a large deer species native to North America and Eastern Asia, it is the largest of the six extant deer species constituting the genus Cervus and the second largest deer species alive today, with only the Moose (Alces alces) being larger, the closest living relative of the elk is the Hangul (Cervus hanglu) that resides in Central Asia, there are fifteen known subspecies of elk: the Tibetan Elk (Cervus canadensis wallichii), the Kansu Elk (Cervus canadensis kansuensis), the Sichuan Elk (Cervus canadensis macneilli), the Mongolian Elk (Cervus canadensis mongoliensis), the Alashan Elk (Cervus canadensis alashanicus), the Tian Shan Elk (Cervus canadensis songaricus), the Manchurian Elk (Cervus canadensis xanthopygus), the †Korean Elk (Cervus canadensis coreanus), the Siberian Elk (Cervus canadensis sibiricus), the Roosevelt Elk (Cervus canadensis roosevelti), the Rocky Mountain Elk (Cervus canadensis nelsoni), the Tule Elk (Cervus canadensis nannodes), the †Merriam's Elk (Cervus canadensis merriami), the Manitoba Elk (Cervus canadensis manitobensis), and the †Algonquin Elk (Cervus canadensis canadensis).
Dual barrel axis adjustments mounted on triple diameter, twist lock, carbon fiber legs; those are solid design choices: Have you also factored in conical bearing joints, with proportional viscosity grease, to facilitate uninhindered & symmetrical tilt-pan movement in order to match the end-user flexibility of ballhead mount?
Our holster is designed to work seamlessly with Spider brand products. Although we recommend using the PAH1 adapter, I would suggest attaching the Spider ball by screwing it in for optimal performance.
I use an (older) CB-Mini RC. With the flash on your right (when the camera is viewed from behind) the combined body/lens/flash package is very compact and surprisingly well balanced. In tight circumstances where you have to work fast, this is a great configuration. Your right hand is then between the body and the flash. Either use straight, direct flash or bounce up with a diffuser. I use a coiled, dedicated flash cord with a cold-shoe. Works well in both landscape and portrait modes.
This ball head really intrigued me so I purchased it and thought I would compare it with my RRS BH-55. I didn’t think the RRS could be improved much. I have large hands so when I opened the box and gave this BH1 a chance, I was sold. If you have large hands and your grip isn’t what it once was, this might be your dream Ball Head. It’s incredibly smooth and has such good engineering throughout. It’s definitely a photography secret gear choice. I’d challenge anyone to give it a try.
I love the concept of the BH-1, but the lack of degree marks on the panning base is a dealbreaker for me (I do a lot of panorama, including nighttime). What would make that head perfect would be 1. Including degree marks, and 2. Have a selectable option for the panning head to pan smoothly or clickable (say make slight click every 5deg). This would make Milkyway panoramas at night easier.
Ingenious design, but how about attaching to a camera with grip? The vertical swivel action will be blocked by either the lens (when mounted on the right hand) or by the camera body (when mounted on the left hand). Some kind of raiser would have to be placed to compensate for the added body height
Nice product, but way too expensive. Looking for an alternative to another set of legs for mechanical build series .... A $250 hi-hat vs another set of legs? Also exploring mounting options for a river expedition shoot. I can't see $250 a throw for mounting cameras to a boat, but convinced some form of hi-hat is the answer. Must accommodate SIRUI SVH15 heads.
