Not meant as criticism Steve.

The big problem is only for me. I use quick release plates as I often have two lenses that may need support. I once went out with the tripod as well and tried to use just one leg! What a joke.

All my lenses with mounts have a release plate attached. Saves dropping or losing one when in the field.

Some believe that Australian Pentax users frequently use super glue on branches as a form of ant control.

Stunning shot, well caught.

I use a Slik 380CF. Length from 0.5 to 1.55m.

Never seen a ball head on a mono. I have seen people use mono's without heads. Big problem there as you cannot shoot from the waist or a groin pad/cup(same things sea anglers use to put rod buts in whilst standing on a boat).

I use this




It has been slightly re-worked around the pivots to keep out dirt and sand etc. This is achieved by the addition of slim plastic pads which also transform the smoothness of the head.

I prefer twist release joints rather than cam locks as they are sealed better and cannot catch on bushes etc whilst moving through such areas.

A good bet is to get from 180' FOV to about 4' FOV and a macro lens thrown in.

How you get there and what you use is what makes us all different.
