leek,

Great link - probably refer to it over the next 6 months or so as I look for sturdier support than what I have now.

Tripods for me are sort of "the great misunderstood". So many combinations, so many different plate/head/legs to choose from, so much money!

Thanks for the link, a good read. It's something I need to buy in the near future, so you've helped a lot!

Danke.

Thanks Leek

For those of us fairly new to photography it really helps clear up the mysteries of the tripod and the "other" bits.

I'm glad that you're all finding it useful...

I was thinking of putting this in the Abs. Beginners section, but thought that even some of the more advanced users could benefit from it...

I am glad you guys liked the article. "Tripods are the great misunderstood" is a great way to sum it up, Daniel. I'll remember that one.

And if there is anything else you want ilikecameras to cover then leave a comment or fling us an email.

cheers,
