Okay Dave, my turn.
About tripods, I see you've mentioned Manfrotto (ex Bogen) as being good equipment. I'm quite pleased with this as I was looking at getting this kit but, having read your glowing report about ball heads, I'm now leaning more towards this one.
What do you think? I know they're not at the top end of the price range but having just spent the best part of £500 ($1020) on my camera, I'm thinking my wife may not be too pleased if I shell out about £300 ($600) on a 'pod, especially when I still place myself in the 'enthusiastic amateur' category! |
Hey I understand the expenses of photography (believe it or not, photogs dont really make that great of money starting out. It took me years to get all my equipment). But the benifits of buying good equipment, is I still have all of it, and it works as well as it did the day I got it. I have had most of it 20 years, and some of it I purchased used.
I do keep mentioning the Manfrotto (ex-Bogen) because Bogen is a great tripod. Either one of those heads is good, personally, well you know what I would say. Go with the ball head, and throw a little level in your camera bag for times you have difficulty gettiing your camera straight.
