Tripod:
  • Nowadays it is mostly a Gitzo 1227 carbon fibre tripod with a Giotto MH 1001 Ball Head. If I know that I will not move around I still use my home made wooden tripod with Schoon ball head.
    The  Giotto MH 1001 Ball Head weigh 360 grams and is able to handle the loads I use in a fairly good manor. This is a substantial weight reduction compared to my old large Benbo ballhead. All my ballheads are equiped with Manfrotto/Bogen hexagonal quickrelease plates.
