[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 549819, member: 24285"] Decided that even though my travel angel tripod seems strong enough I wanted a larger more robust full sized tripod. Bought a Vanguard Alta Pro 253CT at the Imaging Photography Conference in Calgary. Came with a TBH-100 ballhead. Seems much sturdier. I did notice that the ballhead would not open wide enough to accept the plate from my Carry Speed strap. Disappointing - will need to look into why. It says "universal 38mm quick release" - one is not so universal. worked it a bit more, and although it is very tight to push the quick release plate / carry speed connector onto the ballhead it will go. I'll have to see if it works loose a bit more, or I may need to file down one edge on the carry speed plate, I'd need less than 1mm off to make it slide in. I wonder if the clamp part can be adjusted? Anyway it does go on after all, just not an easy or quick release. [/QUOTE]
