Yet, in reality mounting any camera on it, however large or small, is a dream in the studio. Rise, fall, any position or angle are all so fluid, easy and instantaneous that a tripod actually makes very little sense next to the UST. One lever for up or down and 360û around the center column; really nothing better for ease of precise camera positioning in the studio. And when locked down - the camera seriously does not move. No client, art director or assistant will kick a leg. Vibration is a non issue (unless you're near an active railroad track). ;~) Fond regards, George george@imagist.com http://www.imagist.com http://www.imagist.com/blog http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist On Jan 14, 2009, at 2:44 PM, grduprey@mchsi.com wrote: > > > A bit of over kill for an M. ;-) Maybe for a R8/9 DMR combo OK. > > > Gene -------------- Original message from George Lottermoser > <imagist3@mac.com>: -------------- > > >> for the "studio" >> >> Group43.html> >> is the only way to work >> floor to ceiling >> rock solid >> counter weighted >> a dream >> >> ;~) >> >> Fond regards, >> George >> >> george@imagist.com >> http://www.imagist.com >> http://www.imagist.com/blog >> http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist >> >> >> >> On Jan 14, 2009, at 1:07 PM, Mark Rabiner wrote: >> >>> Here's one for the studio audience. >>> Which tripod would you rather use: >>> A Gitzo metal or a Bogan carbon fiber? >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Leica Users Group. >> See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
