Manfrotto 190PRO

A good combination?

I will be getting this tomorrow, so if its not a good choice, please stop me before i do something stupid.

it's a good combination for bridge cameras and slr's with small lenses. A large lens on it would not be stable, but if you aren't planning on using one, then ya, this is a good lightweight solution.

So how did you go saxondale ?

I just checked the prices for those things..I'm like wow.. Guess my $50 tripod isn't pro enough..lol

I got it managed to get some money off it too. Still need to use it, been really busy.

well if u dont like it u can always send it to me

If you have a spare moment can you post a pic of your 350D mounted on it I did a quick google search on what you got it looks rather professional.

Will do when my internet gets reconnected

Thanks
Have you tried any long exposure shots yet of things like cityscapes and moving cars that’s my favorite thing to photograph I bought the wired remote to help with camera shake when I’m doing them it’s a lot of fun.

Nope i really have had no time. I will go into town with my mate to do that this week and see what its like. Im new to that stuff, so they might turn out rubbish, any tips on settings?

I know what your talking about with no time I go to work and come home with no energy sux

TV Mode and experiment with different exposure times a magazine I was reading suggested the best time is during dusk when you just have a little bit of light left you need to have the camera as stable as possible so perhaps use a timer so that way your hands don't cause camera shake if you like you can also use mirror lockup.

The hardest part is getting something to focus on in the dark also cover the viewfinder with your fingers if your doing a really long exposure to stop light going into the camera or use the thing that's included on the strap but you have to take the rubber eye thing off to use that so its a bit of a pain.
