Thanks but not now... Just bought cv10.... One at a time... Haha

Had another shot for the weekly entry, but not used:

"Straight line reflection", thought F11 would have been enough, may try F16 and 22 next time around, I kind of like the shot.

Eddie, for what it's worth, here's the tabletop tripod I use. It seems very stable as shown in my shot with the FE 85 f1.4 GM lens mounted on my a7rII.

looks very nice gene, I'de probably go that route as well, since it costs a whole lot less. Basically, when I bought the manfrotto, they were pretty much the only one to make that sort of thing, nowadays, there are lots of options. I continue to use my lightweight sock bean bag for those limited uses, does portraits and landscape orientations with ease.

Thanks Gene / Charlie. On amazon UK both tripods are about the same price i.e. more expensive than the states!

I actually spotted this other one at half the price but trying to work out if it would be as good or not - https://www.amazon.co.​uk …oliid=I3IQY6ERI​FEVC&psc=1

havent met a flimsy manfrotto, the brand is solid even if inexpensive. They invented the table tripod (at least I think they did), so I'de give them the benefit over all others TBH.

Might give the cheap one a go, I can always return it. Is the larger Manfrotto you mentioned all metal? or was that Genes one?

yes, it was all metal, hence the hefty feeling. The newer pixi looks like it has some advantages as well, like the button. Gimmicky for a large tripod, but for what it will be used for, might just work with a smaller setup. If I were to buy another one of those gadgets, I'de probably get the pixi as well, since my original was bought for a DSLR, a slightly smaller item for the A7's would be acceptable.

Maybe Im boring you all but another update on the sony pro care


Just got my notice that LENSRENTALS is shipping the A6300 for my Loaner

I find this all so interesting.

haven't shot anything in almost two weeks. i was busy renovating our two bathrooms. new tiles, bowl, cabinet, sink, mirror, paint and new fixtures. i'm having an MYWH(Make your wife happy) project. lol...

Can anyone recommend a sturdy and reasonably cheap pocket/table tripod? (Small, cheap and sturdy - that's probably not possible now I think about it).

I know some use the RRS pocket pod but that's not available in the UK and regardless RRS is expensive. Any other options?

Eddie, I've got both the Manfrotto that Charlie mentioned and the Cullman Copter that Gene uses. The Manfrotto weighs just over 170grams and the Cullman 285g. They are both very stable and easily support a Canon 6D with 24-70 f/4 lens. I take either one up the hills. The Manfrotto is very small and low to the ground (or table) but I've taken many LE waterfall photos with it balanced on my backpack!
