freaking amazing messenger bag

So I have one of those and was using it frequently....until one day the magnetic clips came undone in the car and my camera rolled out when I picked it up. Needless to say I don't use it anymore hah. Should be fine if you're mindful of the clips though.

I will be now will be checking them now.

i got my Sigma 150-600 Sport it does focus on a7RII, need to test it more.

I always wondered why someone would need these. I mean with a quality ballhead you can dampen the strength and adjust relative precisely. And if it isnt all that straight you can straight out in post which is not a problem anymore with all those mpx our cameras have.

Thats a fair point. I have always used a ballhead and have no problem setting the position precisely and with a decent ballhead theres no sag etc. I think I just like the idea of minute precise movements on a geared head but in terms of functionality I can do everything I need with a ballhead. (Just needed talked out the purchase )

OK so my new Induro tripod arrived. Amazing service by the amazon.com site. They quoted me 7-14 days delivery and delivered it in 2 from the states. Here are a few snaps of it against my other tripod -

Induro CT313 set up at same height as Feisol 3442. Note the leg angle on the Induro, I have always felt the feisol are a tad too steep.

Next up is the folded size. Clear benefit with the Feisol here but I didnt buy the Induro to be small (Excuse the thing sitting on the table. Thats part of another project I have on the go)

Fat sumo fingers couldn't keep the clip shut lol.

the induro looks great, like an inexpensive gitzo 3 series, which look about the same size. Dampening was noticeably better, and I imagine the induro to be on par with the gitzo based on the look of it.

From what I have read in reviews the Induros are targeted at the Gitzo market at a more affordable price point and offer similar performance. I now see what all the fuss is about from people who own Gitzos and Induros. I actually think its the dampening thats key. The Induro is almost instant, the feisol felt like it was continuously shaking in testing!. I have never noticed this before as never checked at 100% focus magnify but theres been a few times I have shot landscapes with it and wondered why I was getting soft images.

Now imagine that induro you've got, and using the same fat legs into 4 sections like the feisol, with the same angle of legs as the induro. I just described the RRS TVC-24, and the reason I drool over that tripod .

That tripod does look amazing. It's out my price range though just like gitzo

I need a new tripod. Sometimes I want a good deal smaller and lighter than my Gitzo and RRS.

A couple from a7R II yesterday afternoon:

Thanks. The place is not a natural formation. It came to be due solely to a man-made environmental disaster in mid-19th century - bad farming/irrigation practices led to erosion on a massive scale. The erosion carved something pretty cool in its place. Looking forward to returning in a few weeks when the Plumleaf Azaleas are blooming.
