dolica CF tripod @ costco

Thanks for the advice Rick.

@EOS - I guess I could - of just the tripod set up that way or with a camera on it?

We might have a slightly different model. I got mine a year ago and they've discontinued that one for another similar one (ain't it always the way THAT works?)

wuzzi.. yup.. just a tripod setup with camera on it would be good. would like to see a closeup on the ball mount in relations to the camera.

of course if dolica can list all the compatible ball heads that would be even better. (for future upgrade purpose of course)

I just looked at the image on Costco (should have done that first) your head is different than mine, so that's a moot point... Sorry about that....

^^ it's ok..

I grabbed this deal-

was going with the Manfrotto 055XPROB + 498RC2 Ball Head but at 99.00 i had to give it a shot-

first tri. with my new t3i ....

How low to the ground can that tripod get the camera?

you can see it here

Can't wait to read a review on it. It looks like it might be too big for an airplane carry on according to this chart

^^ let me try tonight and post up some pics.

Waiting to see your pictures. The link doesn't work for me.

looks nice to me.... thanks-

Do you need to use the Dolica release plate or do other brands fit? Also is the ballhead removeable?
