I just ordered a right Tripod

I had over a year a debate with my own mind whether i should spend 500$ on a tripod.

Now i just ordered the Feisol ct-3442 rapid with a Siriu k-30x ballhead and a Siriu L-Bracket for my 6D.

Paid about 600$ for everything, especially since the ballhead and the L-bracket are not very known here so the shops who have them are rather expensive.

However im very excited to another chapter in my Photography path

Kind of hard to swallow but worth it in the long run. I just spent 300 for a mono pod, but I beed it to hold $15K in camera and lens. My Sirui mono pod fell apart under the load.

I have heard good things about that ball head.

Yeah, but at most i will use a 6D with a 70-300L, and that even worked with my 80$ tripod which is horrible btw. Its just the fiddling which i want to get rid of..

Yeah and the Legs with the ballhead are about 3.3lbs, very compact and light, which is exactly what i need while travelling!

That one should last you a long time. congrats on the purchase.

This! Enjoy.

Thanks guys, now its the big waiting!

Hate the wait but at the same time i love the feeling

Awesome setup... congrats.

Obviously you have more common sense than this gal. I swear... she left this whole thing unattended while talking on the phone a few steps away on the beach where she laid her belongings.

Will surely do!

Ohh what i wanted to add is, that i ordered the feisol legs on their official website since they ship from germany to switzerland. So i saw it was about 320€ plus 17€ shipping. I was like well doesnt matter now im gonna buy this anyway! Proceeded to checkout and the sum was 288€ including shipping. I was confused and checked if i have changed the product by mistake but it wasn't. However im not complaining about it at all haha

Maybe useful for interested ones!

Hi there. I have the Fiesol 3442 and it truly is a great tripod. I love that I can extend to eye level without the need for a center column - makes the setup very sturdy. Very well made and lovely to use.

Make sure you get the rapid version of the tripod if you have the funds. The anti-rotation leg locks make the tripod quick and easy to setup and take down.
