[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 824828, member: 53455"] A less menacing subject today for our tabletop section: [B]A Family of Tripods![/B] In front, the smallest is the Rollei Mini Traveler M1 tabletop tripod: aluminum, super cute, very well engineered and reliable, a pleasure to use in small corners or on tabletops, even with a heavy lens/camera combination attached. Next to it, the small Gitzo Traveler Series 0, the smallest tripod in the Gitzo lineup, splendidly light, folds “head over heels” for compactness, and very sturdy even when there is wind. That’s the one I take when the lightest kit is required, such as for airplane travel. The name is a mouthful, though: it is known as GT0545T, and the great little ball head on top of it is GH1382TQD! Just behind it is my workhorse for outdoor, the Traveler (or is it Mountaineer? I never know) GT2530. This was the first Gitzo I bought, in 2006, and it is as good as new, although it has seen a lot! Here shown with the Novoflex Magic Ball MB-50 ball head I had back in September 2020 when this was taken. It has since then been replaced by a Leofoto panoramic head and a Benro geared head, which I use alternatively, depending on my purpose. Finally, in the back is the great Gitzo Systematic Series 3 GT3543XLS, which I use for studio work or whenever I need to go very high (it extends beyond 2 meters), with the Number One of geared heads, the Arca-Swiss Cube C1 —made in France like all modern-day Arca-Swiss products, which very few people know... it is not Swiss anymore, and hasn’t been for a long time. As all the tripods were [I]in[/I] the frame, I bolted the camera on a C-stand to take this photo! :o)) Nikon Z7, Nikkor Z 50mm ƒ/1.8 S lens. Artificial lighting. Composite shot made up of 5 focus-stacked exposures, set automatically using the built-in function on the camera. Stack processed with Helicon Focus, Method B (depth map).
