Re: Recommended Travel Friendly Macro Tripod

I am an avid fungi photographer. My goal is to take shots as close to ground level as possible, to show a perspective unseen by humans who tower over these small, fascinating organisms.

To achieve this, I have a tripod with the centre column inverted, which allows my camera to be at ground level, and very stable to set up 10-20 shots on manual focus, which are then stacked when I get home.

This does mean operating the camera upside down, which takes some learning. Fortunately my camera has tilting display, so I do my focusing and metering from the screen.
