Greetings,
I've taken delivery of 16x20 Chamonix camera. [and BTW, it's a real beauty!].
The challenge is this one: to find a quick release setup: plate and clamp system sturdy enough to handle this camera.
The tripods are either a Ries A100 or J100; and a 5-series Gitzo. Thus far, I've come up with the following possible setup: 2 RRS smaller clamps attached to either a Gitzo low profile head, together with the 6" RRS sliding bar (MPR152) screwed into the base of the Chamonix; or, just a straight attachment to the Ries.
This setup with the Gitzo is ok, but the head does wobble a bit. To be honest, I'd rather use the Ries but would not like to use it without some clamping system.
Any suggestions out there? Has anyone using ULF come up with a solution?
BTW, the total weight--camera, filmholder, lens-- is approx. 36--37 lbs.
Thanks in advance,
BILL
