I would recommend the 32xx from Bogen. It handles my Maxxum 9 and Sigma 1000/8 fine. But then again I'm only using lenses with built in tripod collars when I want to change orientation. I'm not sure about a head to do it with for the camera except maybe putting a ball head on top of the monopod. Kent Gittings

Can any one help me start the search with recommendations. Its a heavy camera with lenses attached so a sturdy pod is a must and i know nothing of add on heads but would like one with a 90 degree tilt so i can go from landscape-portrait quickly. I have a light weight Slik i use for my video and manual Pentax bodies but i'm afraid its to light for the D1 Thanks in advance Dave Pentax User Stouffville Ontario Canada Sign up today for your Free E-mail at: http://www.canoe.ca/CanoeMail - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
