Maybe I will! Mark, Price the ones that the film/video crews use and the Gitzo will look a bargin. Try $2000! Sometimes I want a Benbo, sometimes I want the 15 pound geared Gitzo I just put on the used market, but mostly I love the little Mountaineer. Though I just bought a small reporter that is virtually the same size and only slightly heavier for $150 used as backup--it fits my new Tamrac backpack roller case that also fits in overhead on airlines. Mostly I wish I could get by without so I could move more, especially in industrial/office settings where I am doing these 1-2 second exposures==I tend to find the best spot and just nail the shot with light and gesture since it is too much work and time to move much. donal - -- __________ Donal Philby San Diego www.donalphilby.com
