Nice rig there Greg, I really like it. May I ask which brand your tripod is=
? I'm asking because I have read elsewhere that some carbon tripods can be =
very susceptible to knocks, i.e. They shatter/split/crack when they hit a r=
ock on the wrong spot. With yours being in use for 12 years I guess you hav=
en't had any of these issues, so that's why I'd be interested in the brand =
:)
Cheers,
Eric
