It's a big country. The high winds Michael regularly experiences out west don't seem to be much of a factor where you're shooting. What works, works!

More specifically this tripod was heavily modified by the original purchaser of the camera and is way heavier duty than "stock," but you can't see anything in this little photo. Either way this isn't a thread about tripods

.

PS Luis: the negatives are perfectly sharp, thanks for asking!

I only mentioned it because my Wisner 12x20 took a gust of wind while photographing in SW Montana a number of years ago and was in the process of going over while on this identical tripod and fortunately I was able to catch it in the process. Scared the B Jesus out of me and it happened out of nowhere completely unpredictable. The surface area that the wind has to push against the surface area of a ULF camera is incredible and the ability of the heavy camera to rotate over the mid point of two leg extensions can happen in a second. I call it risk mitigation. From that point I only put my ULF cameras (12x20, 8x20 and 11x14 V11) on the Rise A100 or the Majestic. Whatever works for you.
