Best Bogen Imaging Tripods for Camera

are you tiered of balancing your slr on a bag, sticks, or just the table for a long exposure?

when you have the extension on, and extended all the way out, the bogen-manfrotto is less sturdy with a slr with a heavy or long lense.

the middle shaft is threaded a few inches below the head which made its transport on the airplane in my backpack even easier.

dont buy this tripod if you are planning to use it w some heavy slr camera.

even though the manufacturer suggests not using this tripod for slrs, i have no problems using it with my cannon digital rebel slr, even with the 70-300mm telephoto.

but more importantly, i often don't want to advertise that i am carrying a slr by strapping a tripod to my bag or carrying it in my hand.

he absolutely loves it, especially it's size when it "scopes" down so fits easily on his camera case backpack.

it fits inside my carry on luggage or backpack.

trash it and pick up a lashing strap at your local rei or backpacking shop.

all in all, highly recommended accessory for all compact slr and digicam users.
