Why make it easier for them? You can read these from a mile away. Probably the least comfortable strap you'll own. Might as well spend $20 or so for something padded that doesn't feel like a seat ...

If you do a lot of hiking you'll appreciate carbon fiber especially with a taller tripod — otherwise save money and go with aluminum. You'll also worry less every time it gets knocked around. I ...

FPS: 6.5 vs. 11. Buffer size (lossless 14-bit): 15 vs. 78. Big difference. The D700 with an EN-EL4a or 8x AA loaded grip could shoot 8fps, only 1fps behind the D3. And without the factory upgraded ...

Sure. I know why you're interested in one but I believe a good ball head would be a better choice. I've used less expensive ball heads from Manfrotto and that's what led me to experimenting with a ...

I really don't understand the appeal of those 3 way heads. Heavy, slow, and cumbersome. When carrying it around you'd want to unscrew those handles to avoid them catching on things and in doing so ...

To some extent but most buyers would see the D810 and D750 as very different cameras. One is more suited to capturing fine detail in slow moving or static subjects — the other is more of a Jack of ...

I bought two of them back then and I'm glad Nikon made that "mistake." It was a remarkable camera for its time. You make a good point. After years of having no full frame cameras to compete with ...

8 years ago. D700. They won't make that mistake again.

Only issue I can see is that the new Fuji MF camera won't match up to the next D8xx in terms of AF and frame rate which means carrying two systems if you want to photograph both landscapes and ...

Would be surprised if the D810 successor even has 8fps. 10fps is a pipe dream. Nikon isn't going to risk cannibalizing its $6500 flagship with D500 speed and AF on full frame. Forget what Sony is ...

Ed, it's not only more stable but you'll definitely appreciate having one when you're changing orientation composing a shot, especially in changing light when you need to work quickly. For panos ...

Just to add to that, I've had more close calls taking a camera off a tripod where the strap has caught on something. Ditto for leaving the strap on while moving the tripod with camera attached. The ...

I remember hearing a lot of horror stories in the early days with those BlackRapid straps but that was a long time ago. All those systems have improved. I've been using OP/TECH Pro Loop straps for ...

Cue the complaints about the price.

The same people who probably expect a Mercedes for the price of a Kia.

I guess the point is they're doing it with some extremely heavy gear and it's not hanging straight down, it's suspended from the tripod head at an angle over their shoulder which exerts a lot more ...

While I understand your concern it's worth mentioning that many pro photographers carry large lenses (e.g. 600 f/4) mounted to a tripod hanging over their shoulder. What is holding the lens and ...

Thanks for that. Corded anchors that can hold 200lbs. Looks like a very flexible system.

Chuck, when you get the chance could you post a photo of it? The links I looked at were these: (1) https://www.peakdesign.com/arcaplate (2) https://www.peakdesign.com ...

Ed, looks like a great system if all you need is a QR plate for landscape orientation. However with an L-bracket attached (for conveniently switching between vertical and portrait on a tripod head ...

Forgot to mention if you want to use one of those BlackRapid style straps with an L-bracket you can get a clamp from Kirk for $40 or RRS for $70 that has a tripod hole for the strap connector and ...
