Top tip - a bit of female velcro on the tripod and male velcro on your cable release. No need to hold the release for hours... well seconds...

I know Ollie covered this a bit in his "focus" thread, but I thought this might be worth posting in a new thread for anyone looking around for tripods and the like. http://digital-photography-school.com/s ... to-tripods |

I'm starting to think my tripod's a bit too annoyingly heavy. Can't afford to replace it though. Oh well! Edd |

Wouldn't using female velcro on the release be more comfortable to hold?

Depends. You will only be holding the release for a short while and I just thought the female velcro on the tripod would be less likely to catch when setting up or carrying it? Al |

The article linked to mentions some tripod brands with links to Amazon.com. I just wanted to give a shout out for a couple more brands available in the UK who make some pretty decent stuff too: Giottos Vanguard (TIPA award winner) |
