[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 549832, member: 24285"] Got a chance to go to the tradeshow portion of the Imaging Conference in Calgary. Maybe someday I'll take in the whole conference. But I did come home with a new tripod. A Vanguard Alta Pro 253CT. It is carbon fibre and has rotating centre column. Won the 2009 TIPA Award - a little old but hey, it was best in the class of the day can't be all bad. It came with a TBH-100 Ballhead. I found it really tight fit to force the quick release/ carry speed connection piece on. That same plate/connector has no problem on either my Benro B0 or Joby "X" but had to really work to get it on. The quick release QS-60 they supplied went on easily. I'm out of town right now, when I get back home I'll have to see if my other plates have any issues. Maybe the "Carry Speed" plate is just a half a mm to wide - a file should fix that [ATTACH=CONFIG]207450._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]207452._xfImport[/ATTACH] Going out on a shoot tomorrow and will take it though it's paces.
