Hi, not sure if this will help but I can usually get 1:1 shots with AF, you just have to get in as close as you can so that the camera can focus automatically, this prob won't be 1:1 but you then just have to edge forwards, pressing the shutter button to focus repeatedly until you get it to focus at 1:1. This technique works most of the time but is by no means foolproof, as already mentioned, ...

Cheers guys, used it today and it was as sturdy as a lump hammer, well pleased with it! I reckon you might've voided the warranty though :P

Have a look at the Giottos MTL8361B 6 layer carbon fibre tripod very sturdy and light ;)

Never used a twistlock before, but always though they were better. I'll contine with fliplocks with my next tripod after reading this

The Velbon Ultra Rexi L is the one I will be buying shortly having had a loan of one for the past week or two. Very compact, light and I found sturdy enough even last weekend up in the lake district where it was very windy at times. I use a ball and socket head with friction control and find this works well for me. I am 6ft 3 and the height of the Velbon was no problem at all. Like you I ca...

Thanks all the Velbon UltraRexiL looks interesting. Going to Focus at the NEC so hopefully there will be plenty on display to play with and see what suits best

I understand how frustrating the gift shops were (I hate them) but at Gulfoss and Geysir, the attractions were yards away. We ended up about 20 minutes walk from the Gulfoss visitor centre, wading through knee deep snow to get some shots of the Icelandic ponies (who were also avoiding the gift shops). At Geysir, I had a quick hot chocolate before spending the rest of the hour or so watching and...

Premier Ink have a deal on at the moment where you get the magmount head and tripod halfprice ...... so it is cheaper than just buying the head................

Welcome Seoulsaver - thankyou for sharing your thoughts. I have now made my decision and have my new tripod. Weight was the most important thing for me as I am a little lady who already has a huge bag to carry..lol I have chosen the Giooto travel with the series one ball head, it has arrived, I have had a good play with it and I am delighted, lightweight 1kg, and yet sturdy enough. A tripod tha...

:P:P:P LOL Slik actually still works!!, just the lock on one leg is broken (really l was looking for an excuse to get a newer one!! ;) ) Ahh those were the days...... 110 film cartridges, Zenith E, jumpers for goalposts........ memories.............. Nurse....I think it's time for more of those pills............... Joe B

The two advantages I find for the Manfrotto are to do with macro - usnig the the centre column in horizontal mode is great for getting closer to flowers etc and I find the locking levers easier to use than twist lock for making small height adjustments at low level. For landscapes the Velbon is the one of choice.

Fantastic. Nothing I can add re; what I don't like. I admire your patience and attention to detail, an outstanding piece of imagery. I wish I had the skill, time and patience to do this. Jane :)

Http://www.sliktripod.co.uk/pages/sprintminiproGM.html I have one of these for travel with my m43 system and it's really good - lightweight, compact and fairly sturdy. Not badly priced too !

Tripods and heads is one subject that people get very worked up about - I think because (like camera bags) size, weight and adjustability are all personal preferences. For example, how tall are you (will you spend loads of time bending over to check the composition?)? Weight - will you be hiking with it or walking short distances from car to viewpoint? Do you prefer twist locks on the tripod le...
