RECOMMENDATION NEEDED "tripod for medium format camera "

[Alan Gales]

I agree, this should be in the lounge.

I've been using a Gitzo 1325 carbon fiber for at least the past 8 years. It has an AcraTech ballhead. This combo is perfect, and has withstood near daily use here in the Dakotas along with Canada and Iceland. I shoot DSLR with 500mm f4 lens, Bronica and Bessa medium format, and my Chamonix 045n on it (and previously a Cambo 45nx monorail.) I have no doubt this tripod & head will outlast me. Buy a good one once and you'll be set for life. I only buy tripod heads that accept Arca Swiss style quick release. The Manfrotto QR are horrid (personal experience.) Buy an L-plate for you DSLR. You won't believe how handy those are.

Why would you want to use a tripod for a little hand-holdable camera?

For maximum image quality... The same reason you use a tripod for any camera.

Maybe, because you have one of these?
