Best Panhead Tripods for Ballhead

and given my need for a head that could work well for both my slr and my video camera, the ball heads were out.

i use it with my canon digital slr.

use it for my rz, 4x5, seitz roundshot, xpan, and digital slr.

only negative is weight it is heavy so it would not be the best for backpacking but for everything else it will not fail.

it may be a little on the heavy side for backpacking but for short hikes it will work great.

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.

it's small enough and light enough to fit perfectly against my lowepro flipside 300 backpack (black), and i will happily be traveling with it to guatemala next month for a week of taking pictures.

i might still purchase it for hiking and whatnot.

for slrs and dslrs, even with some fairly long lenses, this would be an excellent.

i hike extensively and go on lengthly backpacking trips.

this tripod is lightweisght (compared to bogen) yet stable enough agains high wind and a 70-300 zoom lens with a medium size slr body.

overall this is an excellent tripod, great stability for small and medium slr's.

or buy a slik and get out there an tear up the landscape with your slr and your digital camera and take great pix.

his thing was the leica r4, if i remember correctly, while mine was the olympus om4 slr.
