Overweight and over here
Almost never with my rangefinder or for general shooting - only for some macro work. I have enough of tripods in my day job... 🙂
Get a handgrip with a centered tripod socket.MadMan2k said:I wish the tripod mount was centered on the leica like it is on my SLR and like all other cameras.. heh
Jon if you have a ballhead that will accept an Arca/Swiss type of quick release system you will get to mount your Leica centered. 🙂MadMan2k said:I wish the tripod mount was centered on the leica like it is on my SLR and like all other cameras.. heh
I'll check those out. I just have a low end manfrotto with ball head now, not sure if it'd work. I'd like to be able to go to a Gitzo 1325 and an AS B1 with QR eventually though... it'd probably last longer than most anything else, and I can't imagine needing something stronger, even if I get a big telephoto to shoot wildlife.peter_n said:Jon if you have a ballhead that will accept an Arca/Swiss type of quick release system you will get to mount your Leica centered. 🙂
G-1325 is a classic! Think about the AS B1 though, there are a lot of very good ballheads out there now; Kirk, RRS, Markins (awesome).MadMan2k said:I'd like to be able to go to a Gitzo 1325 and an AS B1 with QR eventually though... it'd probably last longer than most anything else, and I can't imagine needing something stronger, even if I get a big telephoto to shoot wildlife.
