Am looking for a lighter tripod as the 2.6kg Giottos now seems a bit heavy. One tripod I am considering a well known make has this in the spec sheets:

Tripod Max Load 8kg
Head Max Load 5kg
QR Plate Max Load 1.5kg

So does the Max Load of the QR Plate negate the Max Load of the other parts.

We are all equal and some are more equal than others

Very good set. Sparrows can be quite entertaining to watch

I think Eden Camp is OK if you like a lot of reading. My "best" picture from there is a swallow (I think) sitting on a model plane suspended from the ceiling in the cafe. The stew and dumplings were very nice

The only caveat is that cameras like to be used, so it would be a good idea to regularly exercise it.
I do try to use my cameras, although not as much as I should, and this prompted me to do a shutter count.

K-7 5330 bought new in 2011

K-5 10482 bought new in 2012

K-IIs 9730 bought used in 2013 with 7800 on the clock

Current values tell me they are all "back-up" cameras now

Remember: When the bottle is being passed around, remove your dentures, if any, then your mouth will hold more drink.
