I'm waiting on the Arca-swiss style one personally. :wink:

Canon 20D and a bunch of lovely L glass and a 580EX. Benro tripod. Manfrotto monopod. Lowepro and Crumpler bags. And a pair of Sigma teleconverters, and some Kenko tubes.

I wouldn't like to try putting even a small DSLR on this. Far too light.

You'd be much better off with a beanbag or a Manfrotto tabletop tripod, which we now can easily hold a D70 with a Nikkor 70-200VR.

Crikey, why don't Gitzos and Benros come in six colours...? :shock:

Cheers
