How does it work with the HTS attached?here a H5D-50c mounted on a Arca Swiss D4 with Arca Swiss flip lock quick release and L-bracket.
that I don't know since I do not have yet the HTS, but currently looking around for a used one...How does it work with the HTS attached?
I think that the term is sex on a stick (or perhaps 9 sticks) :thumbs:I use a few tripods and head combinations below is the prettiest
it works very well with HTS 1.5, without the special H adapter when the camera is moved on the rail fully to the front.here a H5D-50c mounted on a Arca Swiss D4 with Arca Swiss flip lock quick release and L-bracket.

watch out for the new arca heads.... geared pan.
Dan, I have had a couple of these mag-alloy Velbon ball heads. I think that model and the one smaller that is only 160g. Not the most elegant of designs, but they are stable with good size loads and inexpensive. The double slit design works really well for positioning the camera up or down, unlike the Arca Swiss with one slit, requiring the head to be spun to change the camera. If you need a ball head that is light, these are great. Also, unlike expensive models, you don't feel so bad using it in harsh conditions. Velbon previously used this design for some bigger steel heads. My largest ball head is this design. Bomb proof, much like the large Manfrotto you showed.
Velbon PH-273QL
Well, nothing really that makes it special. Except its incredible light weight. It is featherlight at 390 gr. Believe it or not but even lighter than the tiny mini-magicball. Not very smooth action and overall less confidence in this one.
Here is the the base (TA-2_LC) alone on top of the TVC-24-L. It really is amazing how light tripods are without a ball head:thank you - i can image that an rrs tripod with only the leveling base should be a good solution. can you send me some pictures?
i don´t need that much movements when i´m hiking.
thx
I don't mind being on the edge but that's a step too far for me. :facesmack:with the forward leg shortened and still stable. Obviously you need to pay attention. Reaching into your bag for that polarizer and bumping the tripod in this position would be bad (graham insert whimpering and shaking fear here).
