CAROL SAUNDERS Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Hi - thinking about getting one. Just wondered if anyone had any recommendations ? Would need to hold a Nikon DSLR. I dislike the Manfrotto ones😉 Thank you in advance.... Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it's sturdy enough to take a 24-70mm 2.8. I have also watched the video from your link and it certainly looks impressive. Thanks also to Harry Harrison and MizBrown for the info on plates and grips. I need to go through what I have already as I know I have some plates somewhere 😉 Carol Mine is currently packed away in my car but will try to get a look at it sometime today. I pretty certain it is the aluminium version of the Road Trip. One leg has a foam pad so your hands don't freeze holding it in cold weather...that was useful yesterday as it was close to freezing out. I think it would be fine with the 24-70 2.8 lens....you just have to make sure you really tighten down the ball head knobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 CAROL SAUNDERS Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 Many thanks Michael - well so far I've managed to find several quick release plates together with a Manfrotto 322 RC2 - can't remember the last time I used this but from what I remember the quick release plates never lasted very long, probably the reason why I've found several 😲 Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
