Hello folks, I am wondering if you can help me. I need to quickly find a new tripod as I have developed a wrist problem that isn't going to go away.
I use a Canon 30D with 580ex and nothing heavier than a 70-300mm lens. Though twisting my wrist and turning things is difficult, I can manage a fair amount of weight for short periods. The standard clips on tripod legs are not good for me at all.
So...a couple of questions...
Firstly, any recommendations for a set of legs and head...up to £200 max in total.
Secondly..can anyone in the Uk recommend where I can go to try tripods...everywhere seems to be internet only these days and Jessops don't seem to have much. I live in Staffordshire and don't mind driving up to about an hour.
Many thanks.
