Still working on that test pic but missing a piece of gear to make it happen. Basically (for lack of a gear driven upside down center column or macro arm - sorry but I sold the tripod that gave me the idea a few weeks ago) trying to achieve 3-D mobility with a combination of macro rails and an L bracket. IMO trouble with the Benbo is too many things are unlocked at once. What is your subject height range? Can you see yourself carrying an extra kilogram of macro rails in exchange for a lighter, less versatile tripod? Cheers Ecke
