All: I'm trying to decide on a new tripod head. Requirements are: 1) physically small & lightweight, for travel. 2) secure enough to hold R8+DMR +400 Telyt w/2x steady. 3) must be able to point at the noon sun (for solar eclipse photography) 4) relatively low cost. At Photokina I saw the Novoflex Magic Ball 50 (Holds 7 kilos, so should be OK for weight) that was not too large, and looked really slick! http://www.adorama.com/NVMBH50.html?sid=1170347693130532 Has anyone here used one of these. Other ideas? Thanks. --- David Young, Logan Lake, CANADA Wildlife Photographs: http://www.telyt.com/ Personal Web-pages: http://www3.telus.net/~telyt ------ Unsubscribe or change to/from Digest Mode at: http://www3.telus.net/~telyt/lrflex.htm Archives are at: //www.freelists.org/archives/leicareflex/
