Canon 20D tripod recommendations
I'm looking for a SOMEWHAT lightweight tripod for my Canon 20D I have
two lenses, the 28-135 IS that I use ALMOST exclusively plus a 70-200 "L" lense. If POSSIBLE I'd like to stay within $100 to $200. Any and all recommendations will be appreciated. Thanks -- Chris Visit: www.cjpphotos.com |

Hope this helps. -- Mark Photos, Ideas & Opinions http://www.marklauter.com |

If you don't want to use BHphoto.com to figure it out see my list of bogen
heads and combos in a message in this group about three weeks ago. They were sorted by price. "Chris" wrote in message oups.com...

And there have been several threads in the last few months for tripod recommendations. Google should work just fine. Greg |

If POSSIBLE I'd like to stay within $100 to $200. Any and all recommendations will be appreciated. Thanks -- Chris Visit: www.cjpphotos.com I just got: Bogen 3001PRO tripod (it comes in black, too) Bogen 322RC2 "grip action" head for my: 20D 70-200mm f/2.8 IS 1.4x converter which weighs about 5.25 lbs, if I did the math correctly. IMHO, it's a very good setup. The tripod is light and the head is very versatile. The head with its let-go-to-secure design is a real pleasure to use compared to other twist-tighten-to-secure designs. The head can be reconfigured for left handed people and also for vertical mounting (just like the older 3265 head). It easily handles my 20D/lenses, and should even work ok when the head is set to its vertical grip position. It's a little more than you wanted to spend, but it's highly worth it. Bob |

Add a zero at the end of the $200 and you could get a great Gitzo 1548 &
Really Right Stuff 58mm Ball Head ... |
