Tripod:
- Nowadays it is mostly a Gitzo 1227 carbon fibre tripod with a Giotto

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.
