upgrade to an half bowl tripod
Hi
I think it is on time to replace my wooden legs ... My video head is a Manfrotto/Bogen 516 flat base and it sits on a Berlbach wooden legs which are actually meant for still photography. The Berlbach have a small ball on top for levelling. The camera is a Canon xl1s equipped with an slr lens , so there is a lot of magnification (up to 4000 mm in slr terms). as I have never seen a half bowl tripod I would like your help. I intend to use my Manfrotto 516 head with an adapter. Would this 'ball leveler' work for me ? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...=126666&is=REG is it a standard item that will work for any brand of legs ? Second, I need to choose legs . I shoot outdoors (birds) with the rig I mentioned , always in a run&gun style. moving around with the rig ready to shoot so I need something not to heavy. I thought this one would be good. would it ? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...=433304&is=REG Thanks for your advice sassi |
