I'm jealous. I tried to order a Bellows but they're no longer available here and used I here have more chance to stumble upon unknown work of da Vinci than on a Bellows.
The Wacom tablet is great but even when I ordered the medium format, it's still the same size as my Mac. It can do even more than I expected and I can switch to touch mode and do everything as normal. Only too bad Lightroom isn't among the standard programs and I have to define every button myself.
But it's worth the money. Only annoys me the Mac has so many USB slots. Exactly two; one for my drive and one for the Wacom wireless. So each time I need to load the Wacom battery I have to remove the drive.

Add a couple 27" Thunderbolt displays and you'll get 8 more USB ports. That's what I did.
Whatcha gonna use on the glass end of the PB-6?
I had the same issue until I bought a powered usb hub. One port became 6 ports and it has plenty of power to run the wacom tablet.
That's a good idea. I don't know how long the Wacom lasts when wireless but it's too handy to not use. It sure beats the touchpad on the Mac and although my screen isn't that huge, I'd still prefer lazy on the couch while processing.
Well this is going back already. After less than a month of light usage, one of the legs is already broken. It supposed to click into a 25/50 and an 80* angle. It goes to 80* and that is it. The other 2 legs work fine.

Also I just got my Pergear TH3 ball head from China. It supposed to have a quick release plate, but you have to unscrew it. Unless I just can't figure out how to use it.
Hey Jack. I just got mine in the mail yesterday, and just can't for the life of me figure out how to work the quick release. Help!!
That,s what I thought.ummmm.....there is no quick release. It's a thumb screw system to lock the plate into the ball head.
You don't sound too happy about that. Is that a problem? The lock knob is pretty fast to use really. It's not an issue for me, and it actually takes less time to lock the plate into the ball head. I hope I didn't mislead you in any way, bud. I still say this is an awesome ball head!
No, it's not a problem. Just that when I read the description on a few other sites that are selling these,bthey all describe it as a quick release, so I was going nuts trying to figure it out.You don't sound too happy about that.

Did you take both of the screws off of the bottom of the plate, or did you leave one in?
Do you feel secure carring it around with the cam attached?
I'm trying to think of what you mean by screws on the bottom of the plate! I'll have to go take a look and see what I did! lol As far as keeping the cam attached and carrying it around...yeah, it's pretty solid on there. No worries.
I'll get back to you on that screw thing. I have to go unpack my tripod from my bag. Gotta feed my face first here....starving.

I have to go unpack my tripod from my bag. Gotta feed my face first here....starving. OK...now....screws on the bottom of the plate.....do you mean the plate that screws into the bottom of the camera, or the ball head plate that screws onto the top of the tripod? If it's the latter, I have 3 screws that screw up from the bottom (on the tripod) that locks the bottom of the ball head to the tripod.
If the former, those 2 screws are left on that plate, and they help locate the plate to the ball head. I hope I made this as clear as possible. Perhaps you mean something else. If so, please clarify.

There are 2 screws on the bottom of the plate that you can loosen or tighten with an alan wrench. If I leave them both screwed in I can't slide the plate on or off the ball head. I will take a pic when I get home tonight.OK...now....screws on the bottom of the plate.....do you mean the plate that screws into the bottom of the camera, or the ball head plate that screws onto the top of the tripod?

Ah! I just figured out what you're doing! Took me a while there.
OK...those two alan head screws are "locating screws" that fit into the two slots on the ball head:
You don't slide the plate in from the side...you drop it in from the top:
...then lock it down with the knob:
Hope the pics are clear in what I'm explaining.
