Could well be problems with the cement... this lens is well known for it

Cullmann do the 3080 Multipod for use in cars.

The side legs come off and it becomes a mono-pod.

I got a boxed new one on ebay for £10

Folding Balda 8 on 120 that belonged to my father. Then
a Practica with a Domiplan..... HELL!!!!

Don't try opening it on the stick. Try copying it over to the Hard Disk first.

Your probably better just selling the lens and buying a 31mm later.

I wouldn't even bother with a virus scan. If it found something it would possibly be a false positive and then the AV software would mess everything up trying to delete it. A Hex editor is the best way to look at the memory stick or just a filemanager.

I hope you don't mean Scandisk?..... that will delete the file
allocation details? and make recovery very difficult.

The back of your hand will get sunburnt as summer approaches.
The palm is more consistent.

Some better pictures here, but the head looks too big.

Edit: That guy has some amazing photos

Aren't you supposed to put your camera on it!!
I give up I can't spot where it is in the 6th shot

If I could only have one Camera Support without doubt it would be the Novoflex Basic Ball absolutely brilliant supports up to 55 lbs and the legs can be screwed into different positions.

For shoulder/chestpod use with a 75mm high B&S head it's unbelievable... use either 3 legs (awkward) or remove the bottom leg and rest the two rubber balls of the other 2 legs against or on top of your shoulders, so that your shoulders support about half of the weight. I can't even steady the camera properly with a standard lens never mind a tele, but with this setup I have no problems with a 300mm lens and 2x converter. I've tried comparing it with a rigid tripod and there isn't any advantage using the tripod. I've even tried it with a monopod screwed into the bottom hole and rested on the ground, but again no advantage

A cheap B&S is all that's needed. I use one of these, but with a quick release. Easily supports the DA*300 and camera and will slip if it receives a sudden bang.
