Anyone try something like this? I once had the small foot monopod but I didnt like it. This would be cool just for the size.

A Cyber Monday pick-up, because who doesn't need more storage when it's this cheap? $20 at Bestbuy (Amazon has a similar deal). I'm still amazed at the size-to-storage ratio -

I chose to avoid the super compact tripods altogether for this reason. I've been using a Feisol CT 3442 for a few years and really like it. No center column, good tripod height, light weight and stable. I really like it as a platform for my mirrorless gear. It also works well with my D500 and 200-500 with a gimbal, so it can handle anything mirrorless you can throw at it. Tripods are tricky and I think that's why a lot of people have so many. I can't afford that, so I found the best compromise for all around use (for me).

I have Feisol 3442 as well. It is good and it works well with Sirui K-30x ballhead. I did a test of my two tripods and technique here:

Outcome was that technique is most important.

But I have noticed that the tripod did not test great here:

Yeah some really great deals on storage these couple of days. I picked up a Sandisk 128gb Extreme Pro SDXC UH-1 card for my Sony A7R3 on Froday only to realize it's not compatible with slot 2 on th R3, the A7R3 will not recognize it, wish I had done a quick Google search before I ordered it, it's a known problem with some of those cards. It's going back.

Remember how big cards used to be for such little storage?!?!?

No shooting been going on here this past week No time/weather coming together.

But..... The CV40/1.2E has been ordered & paid for & yesterday I spotted the Lowepro Flipside 400AW for £40 in black!! The Camo version was still £155!! Had an email saying it's been shipped too - I was half expecting it to be a mistake & the order cancelled.

I've got the Flipside 300 which fits my camera gear fine but doesn't fit all the extras such as food/gloves/coffee flask/etc I'm hoping the 400 will fit that task for shorter hikes as I have a proper backpack for all day stuff.

Is it still £40 Lee? You got a link?

PS congrats on the 40 1.2!

Guys, any ideas where to stay around Disney World? I'm planning a trip to take our 5 and a half year old. I figure it's a good age to take him. Also, how many days would you recommend? Thanks.

Just ordered the bag. Don’t need a bag. Wasn’t looking for a bag. But £40!! Too good to pass up. Thanks for the heads up (I think)

That's pretty much what I done.

But then I made up some rational thinking for buying it

Intel vs AMD processor?

I’m looking for my son’s pc replacement. Beware of bestbuy’s ibuypower pc. My son’s ssd drive died in a month. Returned.

Yup. My friend and I were just reminiscing about how it blew our minds when the Iomega Zip Drives came out.

For multithreaded workloads, AMD is the better performance per dollar. Sweetening the deal is the fact that the AM4 socket will be relevant for a couple more processor generations - that means updating the BIOS and dropping in a new processor.

First outing with my A7III

I would love to go. Need to clear it with my wife first. Where are y'all staying? Would we all share one vehicle?

I can send you the info on lodging, I have a Jeep rented so does the other guy right now...
