Give the lock-knob a quick and forceful snappy twist as if to tighten. The knob won't turm at this point, but that's OK,,, you just want to add a bit of pressure to the mechanism , to break the ...

Have a chat with a local or regional Pro-Sound & Light dealer. They supply everything you'd need for shows. (sales and rentals). The smoke/fog/mist machines are "other-worldly" and can fog a large ...

To my way of thinking,,,and "if" I had only one tripod, the obvious choice would be the Gitzo 3-series Mountaineer. The smaller series Travellers and Mountaineers (series 0, 1, and 2) are rated by ...

I did much as Mark suggests, in 2016 I bought both cameras,,, the P900 and an FZ-1000. At first, I considered the P900 as my novelty camera,,, while I bought the FZ-1000 as my tourism-travel ...

That little Mini-Traveller is amazing. The legs can apparently support 25 kilograms/55 lbs. That's more of a table-top-type tripod though. The "0" -series Traveller can go much taller 123cm's so ...

I don't know how you personally define "heavy-duty", but I can assure you that by my definition, you won't find it in a 12" tripod. That said,,,if the ability to support a 10kg load with a tripod ...

Yes, those are the anti-rotation slots. The tape doesn't need to wrap completely/continuously around the leg. Just make two "tabs" adhered to each side of the slots. The tabs should resemble your ...

If you can't get the correct shims,,, a temporary alternative would be using aluminum speed tape , and simply wrapping one layer around the top of the leg-section. If you're unfamiliar with this ...

There's surely a way to get the shim kit. From what I've looked at over the last while, it would appear that the name "Artcise" is a marketing name, and Artcise is a "daughter company" of Innorel. ...

Back in the day, those geared-column tripods were everywhere. My first tripod was bought in '73, and along with the gear-column it included a spreader. The legs were either C-channels, or more ...

It appears that the TMA27C Benro is a 2-series tripod, and as such, it would be considered too "light-duty" for supporting a gimbal-head and long lenses, such as you'd likely be using for ...

Chris, Let us know how it works out. I've also come across shim sets on Aliexpress, which were selling for $1.50 for a ser of three, and which were available for several different brands. A full ...

Just mount an Arca-Swiss clamp directly to the monopod,,, why bother with a head? At such a long focal length, all you need to do is tilt the monopod slightly, fore and aft.

Contact any photo store in the U.K. which sells Cullman products, and they'll tell you who the U.K. distributor is. When you call the distributor, ask specifically for the service department for ...

Hi ChrisD46, The Gitzo 2-series Traveller is great unit, and it can often be found on sale as a "kit",, which includes the GH-1382QD ball-head, which I absolutely love. It's light-weight,,, packs ...
