Hello evderyone. What tripod do people recommend for photographing (short) flowers. I have a Uniloc, and whilst it gets me low enough, I find it a bit cumbersome - like wrestling with a set of bagpipes at times!

Cheers,

Kevin

Hi Kevin try one of the Manfrotto range, most if not all will get you down quite low with the 3 position leg spread. Plus a bit lighter than the Uniloc spider.

I can not help with the tripod problem as mine, thought it allows you to shoot at ground level, is over 20 years old.

I would appreciate any pictures that I can add to the following web site.

Have a look at the Benbo Trekker range. I have one of the smaller ones which I used for flowers and insects and it works well.Neil.
