[Leica] PAW, or PESO?

[Douglas Herr]

Hi Don!  Good to hear from you.  I'm using the Gitzo GT5543XLS for when I need a tall tripod.  I don't think I've used the 600 + TC with a smaller tripod yet, but as long as I don't extend the tripod too high the smaller ones are fine with the 600 by itself.  I use the tripods mostly to keep the camera on target and to reduce muscle fatigue, the camera's stabilization system does the steadiness work.

I'm glad you are still out there luring birds into portrait sessions. If
I'm using a Gitzo 1548 when I get out to 800 what on earth are you using?
