About Me
About Memust... fight... urge to..... spend!!
well since I've been getting more and more into photography, it's hard not to get into wanting to spend on equipment. 1 lens can cost more than what I spent for my whole camera!
I kind of found it pointless to keep my targus tripod since it can't hold the weight of my new camera. buckling under the extra weight, it leans ever so slightly. ok quite a bit. so it's time for a replacement. what I loved about that tripod is that it's small & lightweight. nothing can ever compare to it in that respect. I stumbled across this. it fits all the requirements that I want, plus, trows in a few extras. but, I'm not entirely happy with it, especially the tripod head. I did buy some other things to make it better for me. I just can't leave things alone that bug me... I installed a new release plate, the existing one took too long to get off and on. it did have non standard screws, which took some tools to work around. In the end. it's almost what I want.
for me to be fully happy, I think I'd have to replace both the head and legs. but now that I have a base, I can buy the two parts again slowly.
next big purchase... a new lens. time to start saving...
Mood: I want to go out more to shoot!! plus more $ to buy more equip!!
