I hope the flip locks have improved vastly from years ago. Because I find them annoying to use. I like the ability of twist locks to control the amount of friction and make very small adjustments ...

Does it even need grease? The reason I ask is because I've had a Gitzo for 4 yr now and have taken a few trips with it. I've disassembled it twice for the same reasons as you and I don't remember ...

Yeah, it's pretty annoying. I can't imagine doing it after every shoot, but if I had to I would. Try Citrus Degreaser. I use that on my bike chains and it does a great job. Smell nice and I can't ...

Just wait.....I guarantee Leica will partner with Gitzo and make a $500 L-bracket that with a fit & finish that only Leica owners, with their legendary tastes and world class demands can...

MrBrightSide: I agree with everything you said. I'm a huge fan of discipline. I don't take a crap without my tripod. My point is L-Brackets make life easier. It doesn't make your compositions any...

"helping to increase grip and stability for precise framing and extraordinary composition."
Don't get me wrong. I love L-Brackets and they are permanent fixtures on my bodies, but Gitzo is selling...

Hi! Welcome to DPR! When you say overnight bag, I'm reading that as overnight camping. You did not list any equipment related to that so maybe you're so hardcore that you can build shelter, or ...

It's my most accurate Art to date and required the least amount of correction. Haven't shot anything official with it yet. My thoughts are based on AF fine tuning and subsequent "shooting around ...

The end result is the same. I'd argue for C because if I wanted to continously track for another kind of subject, I don't have to switch settings. One setting does it all. That's only if the focus ...

that one looks good. The metal looks thick.

I sleep better with a dedicated bracket with an anti-rotational lip. I don't replace bodies every 2-3 years so what's a $150 on top of a $3000+ body? I do like PMG. I have one tripod of theirs and ...

And it's so much easier to buy something to try and compensate instead of actually practicing. Much like buying weight loss pills and fad diets rather than eating healthy food and exercise. Much ...

Nothing wrong with this. Most of people need creative outlets. If there was amazing drama in the sky, you wouldn't have needed to push it in post. I think you are trying to force the drama when ...

I use AF-C and AF-On 100% of the time when I'm not on tripod. I don't hold down the AF-ON button though. Most times, I don't want it to continuously track. I use AF-ON because I don't want to keep ...

On my D810, you can activate VR with Back-Button (aka: AF-ON). It's in the menus somewhere.

You can always return it. My returns with B&H have been trouble-free and I live in Canada. When you play at this price level, things are going to be a matter of personal preference, as opposed to ...

Report back to us once you have some initial thoughts. It's gonna be an awesome kit.

The problem with these threads is that everybody who responds is "on your side." What I'm more interested in is hearing from people who don't edit the quotes before posting and why. Are they not ...

I don't know how those commercially available targets work. My guess is that it's done at one distance so that the target occupies some significant area in the frame. The problem arises when ...

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. I'd rather they call it Alan than XFC-3735CF Mk2.
