You could also buy a single QuadroPod leg from Novoflex, they make several different ones http://www.novoflex.com/en/products/camera-support-systems/quadropod/quadropod-legs/ There is even a telescope hiking stick plus it would have an upgrade path to a full QuadroPod Cheers Ecke -- 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.
