Hey,
I'm wondering if anyone has used one of those el-cheapo SLR tripods to hold their 4x5 in a pinch. You know, the ones that weigh 2lbs, cost $45 and come with a pan/tilt head.
I need a compact (when folded), lightweight tripod that'll hold a stripped down crown graphic with a press lens (~5lb).
The camera, tripod, 3-5 film holders and a light meter will all be going on the back of a racing bike . . . . . bicycle that is. I'll be in the mountains riding with a few others and while we're not racing, we're all race... so I'd like to keep my weight handicap to a minimum.
If I were to loose my camera, light meter and film holders it'd suck but I'd be "ok" with it (Camera cost $80, film holders were free as was the light meter). I really want to avoid doubling or tripling my investment with a tripod.
So if you have used "el-cheapo" and its "worked" what did you use?
yah thanks
