Today I have ordered two washers to be cut with a laser beam .
That washer is 3mm thick and will lift the CUBE a little bit to give more clearence . It can be used on Series 3 , 4 or 5 GITZO SYSTEMATIC's .
I will give feedback when I have the washers .

I have a Manfrotto 400 geared head for my H4D-50. It's very solid and stable, although the horizontal plane can only be tilted by about 12 degrees or so. I assume the Cube is a lot better, but it's a lot more expensive.

I love this.
61 replies expressing opinions about tripod heads! Only on GetDPI!
After all this, I'm still deciding. It's down to if I only need a leveling head (e.g. Linhof) or something a bit more versatile like the Cube or D4. In two years I can think of three times I've tilted camera more than 12 degrees downwards but logic tells me that as soon as I can do that I'll need it!

I nearly ordered one of those and I'm not ashamed to say it was on looks alone. I never go near water with my tripod but they look soooooo good. :eek:

Apart from the eye popping price, they just didn't make one high enough for my needs and I ended up with the Series 5 Giant.

Now make that 66 replies. :ROTFL:

The same thoughts here . If there would be an OCEAN type for my desired height I would have bought it . Not even thinking about the additional €uros .
It just is an awesome design . . . .#67

Gitzo Ocean? Pah!!

The true enthusiast would get the Gitzo Titanium Traveler 90th Anniversary edition. :)

That would be the correct tripod for the HASSELBLAD LUNAR snobs .
Superfluous . About as useful as a hole in the head .
Sorry , a bit out of topic . :LOL:

hate to see fellow cube users in a bind, so if anyone wants a 3mm thick spacer, let me know, and I'll make and sell them very cheaply. will have a 3/8" clearrance hole and same OD as the cube base

They really need to make a mini cube about 30 percent smaller. Ill take the first one made. Oh wait by that time ill be retired. LOL

So where the hell is the new Z2. I'm starting to get pissed off here.

You can tell I have a lot of patience.

looks like the Linhof base pan lock screw (round, not a lever) is going to be tough to get a grip on when mounted on a larger diameter tripod headplate
