Lightest Tripod for Pentax 6x7
I'm hitting the road in the Spring, backpacking, and am considering
using my Pentax 6x7 exclusively. What do think is the lightest tripod I can get away with using slow speeds? Though I use mirror lockup, the focal plane shutter makes a serious thrust and speeds lower than 1/60 show it. Hand dampering the camera helps, but even that gets risky the slower you go. I've been using my heavier Berlbach with a sizable Bogen head around home areas, as my lighter Bogen made for some very unsharp tests, but I can't see taking it on a long backpacking tourism trip. Thanks, Ken Smith |
