BrianB said:I am a recent returner to birding and am looking for a replacement tripod. I have read through various threads in this section and Manfrotto seem to be very popular. The main problem I have is that I can only afford one, and would like it to be usable in a number of different circumstances - scoping, digiscoping, 35mm landscape photography and 35mm macro work.
Many years ago I had an original Benbo which I loved, and something like this would be ideal for the 35mm side. Does anybody use them for birding? I haven't seen any mention of them. Do the Manfrotto range allow you to get a camera as low as a Benbo (for the macro work)?
Thanks for any help
Brian
