Those legs put the camera (minus the gain from the head) at 62 inches max. Having said that, you might care to look at a Manfrotto 055XB legset (B&H $145 USD) and the Manfrotto 486RC2 ball head (B&H $60 USD). Your landscapes, using any tripod, will be much improved over handheld. 4 tripods later, the single, smartest and best thing I have ever done for my photogrpahy was to buy a good tripod. the single best thing I have ever done for my photography was getting a tripod, back when. However, given that I don't really know if I'd even use one much and have ~7 times less weight to support than they are designed for it isn't an option right now. head so that I don't end up spending $1700 by buying 3 or 4 tripods over my lifetime. I've read about how I should buy a $600 Gitzo 6x CF base and a $400 Arca-Swiss/etc. It has no panning base, no bubble level and I'm not sure the head detaches, but it is only £60.ĭoes anyone know if you can change the included head to a different one and if yes, how easy it is?īecause if you can, I could start using it as-is and if I really decide I need a panning base/bubble level I could just switch the head to a different one.

Right now my top candidate is the Slik Sprint Pro II. Now, I realize I ask for too much even considering the small amount of weight it has to carry, so something has to give. The good news is that it won't have to carry that much - I currently have a Pentax K100D w/ the kit 18-55mm, and see myself upgrading to the K-7, K30D or K300D and, say, a Sigma 10-20mm or Pentax 12-24mm lens which would still only come up to a 1.1 or 1.3 kg total. I'm 6'' myself but have some back problems so don't want to be bending down constantly. With a detachable/separate ball head with a panning base. Not terribly complex to set up and including a quick-release plate. Ideally less than £100 but £150 might be fine. will not approve if I buy an expensive one and then not use it). Inexpensive (as I'm not sure how much I will use it really and the Mrs. maybe up to 1.4kg including the head, less is better Light (as I do some day hikes sometimes and already have to carry too much stuff). Unrealistically, I'd like the solution to be: I borrowed an old, cheap one from my brother a while ago but it had a cumbersome 3-way head and was heavy so I didn't really use it at all. I think a tripod would help my landscape photography and let me try some HDR.
