I already own a great 1548 Gitzo tripod for the 'serious' stuff but need something that won't get in the way. I was just going to buy a 1588 which looks like a leg 'orf the ole 1548 block, but this Gitzopod thingy looks like it would be a great match with an M6... yeah I know thats not what Leica's are for.. handheld, discreet available light etc but I like my pics as _sharp as possible and like to shoot slow slide film for these sort of events (and no I don't own a noct *sob*). The Gitzopod looks very versatile, monopod, chestpod, emergency tripod, mounts up to the body to shoot hands free... Soooo who has one out there, and what are they like? Could I seriously double an F5 with 80-200/300mm and an M6 on this baby or am I just dreaming and should just go for the heavy stick? Last question - does the supplied head on the Gitzopod tilt for portrait? Cheers, Neil - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
