I bought a rather basic Feisol panning base and wasn't overly enamoured with their engineering or QC. I had to modify it as the internal screws were too long and were scraping on the base and even after that was remedied it wasn't very stable and exhibited variable friction as it was rotated through 360 degrees. Their leg sets look OK. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC +10 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
