Oh happy days, with the arrival of my SC-29, the Velbon (recently mothballed following the happy arrival of the A328 and the KB-2) has emerged with a new purpose....

A stand for the SB800! And it is ideal for the purpose. Woohoo.

Recycling.

Excellent!

Hehehe.

I use my old Manfrotto like that too (well, not for an SB800, but for a 580EX), with the Benro being the main tripod now.

My wife just rolls her eyes when she sees me setting up out in the garden with two tripods, ready for some macro action :lol:

But hey, at least all this expensive gear is getting used!! (And so is the Velbon)

I nearly threw out all my old crappy music stands until i saw this thread!

They now have a purpose

Now all i need is several more SB800s to attach to them

Are you happy with your Benro...build quality, etc?

Although my velbon tripod is still in operation, i find it makes a good walking stick too.

You mean it can walk??? :shock:

Not so much walk... it does creep, slide and fall over a bit though.
