I think I went too far!

PS apologies to Joe McNally for stealing the name.

UPDATE: I took this photo as a joke and now it has more views than the rest of my stream combined!

My new toys arrived today. I was sick of using the Manfrotto Modo tripod (recommended to me by someone in the know...) as it's as good as a chocolate teapot.

This baby on the other hand, is something different altogether. The legs adjust to any angle required with the smooth quick release mechanism, the ball head is rated to 4.5kg, easily taking the bigma and e620 with peace of mind. Two of the 3 legs are foam coated for carrying over the shoulder, and after 2 hours of sitting in the garden photographing sparrows, I can safely say that this tripod and head combo are immense. ?45 well spent. Avoid the cheap manfrottos at this price, invest in something decent!

The Cartoni HiDV1 video tripod system consists of the HiDV fluid head, single-stage aluminum alloy tripod, mid-level spreader, rubber feet, and a soft case. HiDV Fluid Head The capable yet compact HiDV fluid head was designed specifically for use with compact high definition Mini-DV camcorders. Being physically small, yet recording much more detail created the need for an appropriately scaled fluid head which would provide smooth, jitter-free movements to simulate the inertial profile of larger, heavier cameras on larger heads. In addition, the HiDV has every other convenience one would expect from a studio-grade fluid head: dual rosettes, sliding balance plate, illuminated bubble level, and continuously variable true fluid drag and counterbalance. In contrast to its predecessor, the Focus fluid head, the HiDV features a 75mm leveling ball instead of 100mm in order to utilize lighter weight ENG tripods for greater agility in the field. Single-stage Aluminum alloy Tripod The Action-Pro single-stage aluminum alloy tripod combines superb torsional rigidity with the lightest weight possible specifically for run-and-gun ENG applications. It incorporates a fast-action stage clamping system with a safety lock, and when used in conjunction with the included mid-level spreader and rubber feet, payload integrity is ensured regardless of terrain.
