Thinking about purchasing this system called DynaTran, seems to get good feedback from purchasers. Anyone used this or know anything abou it??
Australian distributor?

They seem to be only sold by Amvona and here are a few nice things people say about them: http://www4.shopping.com/xMR-amvona+com~MRD-308128~S-1

May I strongly suggest NOT purchasing anything from Amvona.

I ordered a tripod head on the 4th of July, 2005... and... i'm still waiting for it.

Geoff,

Vanbar have a simple portable system in a bag similar to what you have linked to. I would advise that the utmost care and precaution be taken with any background material employed outdoors. The Avedon method of gaffer taping a roll of paper to the wall of a barn seems the safest.

Cheers,

I will agree to this method, as stands and wind do not go well together, unless you have 2 strong boys with you, then only just.....
