Tripods

I got the SLIK AMT of Sheldon last week and I am delighted with it. It?s exactly what I was looking for.
The full name is SLIK PRO 330 AF (AMT), which is a new model, so I couldn’t find any online reviews for it. But the image looked promising and so did the specs I found on SLIK?s website.
It?s basically a modified PRO 330 DX with their new improved 1100E trigger ball head.
The tripod is made from magnesium aluminum alloy, got speed release lever leg locks, gearless center column (can be halfed!), 3-position leg angle adjustment. It weighs 1.5 kg and takes 4 kg load.
The head weighs 500 grams and takes 3 kg load. It?s ?pistol grip? trigger works very well. Excellent grip when fixed and easy to adjust using one hand. It has an all-metal quick release system with an rectangular plate that sits in a shoe that can rotate 360? and can be locked facing in any direction.
I had a chance to use it on a beach in Kerry in wind and rain and it performed very well. Obviously I will need to try it out some more, but I don?t think I would have gotten that good a value for money with another tripod.
Thanks Sheldon.
Well i use
manfrotto 804RC2 Head
and
manfrotto 055MF3 TripodThe head takes a little getting used to but one you do get used to the three axis control it works great.
The tripod is very sturdy but can be a little on the heavy side at times.Madra Rua wrote:

Only glad to be of service. We sold a lot of Slik tripods at the Photofest show and since and hopefully we can do more in the future.
