Hi all--
Been off the list for a year but thought I'd check in to see how things
are=20 going.
<<For rock solid and a little on the heavy side, but 5 cents under your=20
budget,=20 you might look at a Tiltall. Might pick one up used and really
stay within=20 budget. >>
I agree. A buddy picked one up for $25 in very nice shape at a swap meet.
=20 I've got one that has been heavily (yeah, not a lightweight) modified
with a= n=20 Arca Swiss B-1, a smaller Manfrotto 3262 ball head on one leg
that has a=20 machined clamp which allows it to slide down to ground level,
Really Right=20 Stuff=AE QR, etc. I put foam bicycle handlebar on the legs
to keep it from=20 denting my shoulder, but it IS a load. Solid like
granite, though.....
