I caught this little fella trying to sneak up on me! (Testing out the new tripod and head on some long shutter speeds inside. Freaking -7F with the wind here.)

A little Classic Camera love in Analog Efex.

Looks like he is moving VERY slow

Well its official! I love the Manfrotto 055XPROB with the Vanguard SBH-250. They are built like a tank. I think the combo weighs in at roughly 6.6 pounds. Its pretty beefy, but in a good way. I am way more confident with this set up than my previous tripod combo.

While this combo wasn't super expensive. (The tripod was purchase still in box from a friend for $80, and the SBH-250 was roughly the same price) I am pretty happy and feel that it was money well spent.

The Vanguard is also really well built. The thing feels solid and has a pretty good heft to it. it is rated at I believe 44lbs. No slipping whatsoever with this thing. And it moves and pivots without any catches or hiccups. I also like the square safety button for the plate. And the locking dial really lets you snug that plate down into position. For the money I believe this is quite a bargain for a budget setup. Again I am very satisfied for the money spent.

A big thanks goes to @Ironwood for the tip on the SBH-250. You were right. I can't find a fault with it either.

That tripod is on my serious consideration list

I love it Mike. It is one of those budget items....that doesn't scream budget.

My Gimbal tests are being done on my benbo.rock solid but can be a pain to set up quickly so if the Gimbal works for me i will need something else.

 

[Deezey]

@mikew How is the Gimbal panning out? (sorry...ok not sorry)

 

[mikew_RIP]

Only got some test shots in the front garden of stationery subjects,used stupidly slow shutter speeds for a 400mm and very pleased,its easy to move from one subject to another,the only thing i doubt i will use it for is BIF i know they are supposed to be great for them but i like the freedom hand holding gives me for those,that may change though after the getting used to it period.

Sounds awesome. I hope it works out for you!

Glad you like the SBH-250, I am still amazed with how good mine is for such a low price that it cost me. You got a bargain on those Manfrotto legs, they are much much more expensive over here .

Forum FAIL! More than likely me FAIL. But forum fail sounds better to me.

Uninspired. Did too many errands and almost had nothing to show for it. Remembered my photo at the last moment.
