In my opinion Vinten tripods are, quite simply, the best.

So, you bought the Vision 3 (with ground spreader) plus the additional mid-spreader? When I was on the market, they told me they didn't sell the Vision 3 system tripod with just the mid spreader, it was an added expense. I hope they haven't changed that policy now that I have one! (well, I hope they did for you, thats great! )

Andrew,
They threw in the mid-level spreader for free. <just kidding!!!> Yes, I bought the "system" which includes the ground level spreader plus the exorbitantly priced mid. The ground spreader would be fine most of the time, but after I put the mid-level spreader on the legs it is really fine. The word "engineered" comes to mind... Setting up will be even easier with the mid-level. I am very pleased with it and Ken is right... Even with a "jerk" operating the Vision 3 --- it won't jerk... [g] == Ed == |
