[Jack aMMo]

Ordered a couple of items on Monday. Thanks for the discount.

[gramps]

Ballhead ordered, appreciate the discount :)

[Steeps]

Looking at the offer 283 and 284, don't know which one to go for and the descriptions are exactly the same and go on to describe a ball head rather than the 3way one supplied. Which should I really be going for? would prefer portability as my bag isn't that big. Thanks.

[Jack aMMo]

got my orders this afternoon, am very pleased. ;)

the bag is big enough for my giottos tripod with ballhead and redsnapper monopod with ballhead.

thanks, Joe.

[stu_the_flat]

Yout new website looks a bit squinty.

New site - obviously in the mayhem the descriptions got muddled up! Thanks for pointing it out.
With regard to the RS-283 & RS-284 the main difference is that the 284 'folds' up to a smaller length - 490mm as opposed to 620mm, which makes it more portable. The offset for this is that the 284 is 80mm shorter at full height.
Hope this helps.

Just ordered the RS-284 combo deal - and entered the code (as above) but nothing seemed to happen and I paid the full price :-(

[neil.s]

not having bought a tripod yet i am in a quandary of which one to buy? i have very limited funds(read 4 kids) so i need to buy wisely, is the RS-283 a good tripod? it seems a good price and how long will they stay at this price

many thanks for your time

Thanks for your order Stephen.
The reason for no discount on this item is that it is on the 'Offers' page that, as mentioned in the ad, doesn't qualify for the discount - It has already been discounted by having a free head - sorry.
Joe

Not sure I should answer this - I'm a little biased! :)
The RS-283 is great value - try a search for Redsnapper and you should see other customers thoughts.
Also, you could read a report/review that a TP member wrote that is on the Redsnapper blog http://www.redsnapperuk.com/tripods-camera-cases/index.php/redsnapper-reviews/hello-world/
As for the price - We are under pressure with increased manufacture and material costs but we'll endeavour to keep the prices for as long as possible.

[Nookie]

I think the new website looks really good - nice and clean and easy to navigate. Have found several things for my birthday list :) How long is the 10% offer for?

[sids]

I was looking for a decent not too pricey tripod. Folks at dpreview.com referred me to TP and RedSnapper. The reviews had me sold, I bit the bullet and have just ordered my RS-324 & RSH-528 Head. Can't wait :love:

(I hope I can learn to live with the 3-way head, never used one)

p.s. very professional looking website, good work!

[Mick58]

I will take a look soon

[saviour100]

Recieved my Bag and Monopod inc ballhead today and seriously fantastic products, i may have to review these :)

Thanks RedSnapper

[Rokkin]

Any chance of some info? Two legs have come out my redsnapper after over extending, i can get them back in to function as normal, but when extending the legs now i cant feel the 'stopper' and they keep coming out. :thinking:

This can sometimes happen if the leg locking rings are undone fully to disassemble.
I've pm'd you.

Thank you :thumbs:

Ive just brought the RS-283 tripod and RSH-24 3-way head.

Not sure if the RED10 discount worked or not, but thanks anyway it seems a decent tripod and head for the price

The discount applies to all Redsnapper products not on the 'Offers' page (mentioned at the beginning of the thread). These are heavily discounted already.
Thanks for the order.

Ordered Monday and arrived today.

Had a quick look and seems like a decent tripod.

Cheers.

[chilli_vision]

I have just Received my Red Snapper RS-324 Tripod with RSH-12 Head and I am very pleased with it.

They were ordered yesterday lunchtime and delivered at 8:00 this morning. You can't do much better than that really.

I am very impressed with both the build quality and functionality of the kit, a little on the heavier side than I had anticipated (down to me not checking what 2.4 kg was like), but that does not matter at all, and the bag it came in is a good quality too.

All in all, I am very happy with Red Snapper.

Highly Recommended.

Matt

[jpatrick]

Thank-you, my monopod and head has arrived this morning, excellent service.

[andy_fozzy]

My new Snapper Duo arrived today.
I am stunned by the quality of it for such a low price :eek:

It is absolutely terrific.
Why people spend out fortunes on other branded camera bag manufacturers when you can get a Snapper Duo for £45 DELIVERED is beyond me :thinking:

If you are considering this bag, then do it!
You will NOT be disappointed.

Thanks a million Joe. Another very pleased customer :thumbs:

[PickleB]

I'd like to acknowledge the excellent service and quality of goods that I have received from Joe at Red Snapper. Not only did my ball head and plates arrive swiftly, he has told me that he can also supply the clamp on its own so that I can fit it to another mount that I want to use.

Thanks, Joe.

BobG

[disco41]

Love the new site must order that monopod!!

[PickleB]

... I have to thank Joe for his excellent service. Such quick delivery and VFM are second to none. Long may he continue ...

... regards,

Bob

[michaelg]

Hi there,

this might be a bit of a silly question but I'm pretty new to photography. I just ordered the RS-283 tripod and RSH-24 3-way head but i can't seem to adjust the head to get the camera properly vertical - either way of doing it, it stops just short of properly vertical.

Otherwise, love the tripod. Still to get out and about with it properly but I have to echo everyone else's feedback on the excellent value for money not to mention fast delivery from Redsnapper! Hope they stock more accessories soon at the same great value prices! :)

[Pork]

Just a big thanks to Joe, as I had a problem with my tripod that needed a replacement part. Sent him an email, and within a day I had the part landing on the door mat. Excellent service, many thanks Joe. :thumbs:

[Yardbent]

hi
would like to order a RSH-12 ballhead + 1 spare QR plate

not sure of how/where the TP discount is applied

at time of ordering ...?....is it still RED 10...?.......thanks

[jedipie]

Hi I have a few questions

Is the RedSnapper tripod compatible with say Manfrotto heads or are they all unique?

Is it worth going for the 283C Carbon Fibre Tripod or the normal RS-283? What is the difference on weight etc?

Will the free case accomodate the RSH12 Ball head too?

I too would be interested in whether the 10% off is still valid

Cheers!

When you go through to the cart and fill in your details the box to fill in comes up then - The code is RED10.

Quick question.

I am after a monopod, RSH-528 3-Way Panning Head and possibly the quick release plate.

I already own the RS-284 & RSH-12 Ball Head.

Would like to know what my best option as there isnt any bundles with that kind of combination.

[SimonM]

Hi
I am looking at the two tripods on offer and am wondering, as I'm 6'4" is the a difference in the leg lengths, or do they adjust to the same?
Stupid question I know

I presume you mean best option on purchasing. This would be to purchase separately and use the 10% off code of RED10 when going through the shopping cart. The head comes with a QR plate so the plate you mention would be a spare - which again is what I think you're after.

[redsnapper]

Hi

Stupid question I know

The RS-283 and RS-284 don't go to the same height - the 284 is 80mm shorter at 1520mm. Remember to then add 100mm for a head and then approx. 80mm to the eyepiece of your camera.
You could always go for the RS-324 which at 1790mm fully extended will certainly be high enough - unless you take a box out with you!

[SimonM]

Thanks Joe, I'll be ordering the 283 on Friday (payday)!!!!

[BalSanghera]

Placed my order. Thanks :)

[jedipie]

Hi there

I ordered my RS-324 Carbon 4 Section Tripod and Ball head yesterday - arrived today.

First impressions are that the build quality is excellent as is the ball head.

The bag is also very good too

Can't wait to get the camera mounted on those carbon fibre legs!

Thanks Joe!

Does the lack of the big green "Buy it now, add to cart" button mean there's no stock? I rather fancied the Snapper Shoulder Bag but there's not an option to buy it. If so, when will they return?

I took receipt of my tripod on Tuesday after ordering late Sunday night. I'm very impressed with the quality of the materials and it compacts down to a great size. One unexpected delight was the quality of the bag to carry it in and the non-slip padding on the strap.

Unfortunately it's gone away for Santa to play with before me! :(

[Purple Haze]

the 284 with the free head looks like a nice bit of kit and sturdy, and a very nice price too, ive just stupidly(i think:thinking: ) got a manfrotto monopod with a tilt head when i bought my d90 recently and i dont think im going to use it:shrug: so think i might get one of these which i think i'll get more use out of.

bit of advise please, going to be ordering the 284 + head combo but not sure which head to go for? looking at either the 24 3-way head or the 528 head, opinions please to help me make my mind up.

thanks
Dan

[NikonSimon]

out of those two, the 528 is the one to go for. I have one, and it does the job, but am looking at getting a ball head instead. Mainly so I can put it all in the carry bag with the head attached (can't do that with the pan and tilts)

Thanks simon:thumbs: i have also considered the ball head for the reason you have stated but think i will get that seperatly at a later date, is the 528 made of pastic or metal? in the pics it looks a bit plasticy but cant really tell from a pic:shrug:

A mixture IIRC. (Correct me if I'm wrong Joe). I think where you attach the QR plate is metal, and obviously the thread etc is metal, but some of the fixtures are plastic. I think. If you're worried about the durability, or it being sturdy, then don't be. It's good quality gear

All parts are metal apart from the end covers and knobs.

Ps. I agree with NikonSimon about the one to go for if you have the choice.

Hi Joe,

Thinking of purchasing the: RS-324 & RSH-12 Head combo, but was wondering if this was a suitable/stable purchase for the 70-200mm / 70 - 300mm / 28 - 300mm lenses.

Forgive me but I'm a complete novice to tripods.

Currently have a D90 but looking to move up to either the D700 replacement or D300s replacement.

The RS-324 & RSH-12 is the most stable combination we do. It will cope easily with the setup and future setup that you describe and more - it really is extremely strong.

Hi Joe, interested in the 283 + rhs-12 ball head at £99 - am i right in thinking there's a 10% discount on this price for TP members? If so can I get that discount online or do I need to give you a call?

Many thanks.

Edit: I tried RED10 and it says it expired yesterday?

Hi, you're right, 10% TP discount is applicable to this combination.
The RED10 code has been reset on our website so you should be able to enter it now.

I currently own a rs284 and rsh12 ball head. Fantasic bit of kit. However, was wondering is there a big difference in weight compared to the carbon fibre tripod version?

Not a massive difference but it will save you about 0.4kg - We only stock the RS-283C however.
A good rule of thumb is if you are carrying your gear up to about 3 miles then you won't really notice the saving but more than that then it becomes a real benefit. If you can imaging carrying a Canon EF-S 17-85mm f4-5.6 IS for an hour then putting it down, you'd notice the saving.

Hi there,

I'm after the RS-284 and RSH-24 3-way head but I would like two QR plates.

I understand the tripod/head comes with one, but I can't see another QR plate to buy with it.

Can you help?

[jeff127]

Received my three RS-284s + RSH-24s today Joe, really really impressed with them so far. They have a few nice features like the extendable spikes, and the hook that I was hoping for but did not expect. Not had a chance to go out and shoot with one of them yet but tested one quickly with my gripped 40D and 70-200 2.8 and it was nice and stable- very pleased with my purchase so far! :D


Jeff.

got my order today, only ordered yesterday afternoon, well impressed with the kit

I ordered a Redsnapper Monopod yesterday (Thursday) and it arrived 15 minutes ago, great I thought until I opened it and discovered that the bottom leg section will not extend, I pulled it and it did extend BUT it is slightly bent which is obviously causing the problem, so not at all happy, hopefully Joe will get back to me on this.... thanks!

[drb52]

With reference to the above post, I would like to say that Joe from Redsnapper has been in touch with me by landline and promptly gave me the choice of a replacement or a full refund, so great customer service, seems like I was just unlucky to get the faulty one in a million, thanks Joe!

[johnnypanic]

Was all set to order a tripod, then realised there was a £15 postage charge to Northern Ireland :(

[stumeech]

Ordered a RSH-12 ball head as my Giotto one finally died - very impressed by the solid build quality and good old fashioned value price.

:)

[andycallaghan]

Got my tripod and head today!

Many thanks.

Excellent service, fast delivery, great price, and the build quality is great compared to my last tripod!

[jpwild]

Joe, I bought a rs284 tripod of you a year ago, and it's been brilliant!

However, I have lost one of the screws for it as it came out somehow. How do I go about getting a replacement screw? This is the screw that attaches the legs to the mount thing.

Cheers.

[jm2]

Is delivery free?, no mention of charges on the site.

no really, it depends where you live, try to order something to see postage charges.

No Problem, just give us a ring before hand.

phoned and collected brilliant service as ever and even returns calls

will order again

[Euan]

I know there was talk of you doing Gimbal Heads, any more news on them?

[dougan]

Ordered yesterday at 1.00pm, arrived at 10.00am, great service!

The monopod and mini head look fantastic quality for the money.
A few basic instructions for the mini head would have been nice though.

[jpwild]

Somehow lost a screw in the tripod. Contacted Joe and received a screw this morning for it free of charge.

Brilliant customer service.

Thanks Joe :)

Ordered tripod and head today, the checkout accepted RED10 code, but didnt discount it onto total:shrug:

Great website though.
One small glitch, when you "find address" on the different postal address section, it keeps changing the invoice address.

Look forward to getting it, had a play with one yesterday, superb, had to order one for myself asap.

My kids bought me the Redsnapper monopod and ball head for my birthday,it's a nice quality bit of kit and represents excellent value for money.

They are on my list of 'to do's' but I don't have any firm dates for you yet.

[Mickwreay]

Hi Joe,

I'm looking at either the RS-284 with RSH-12 ball head or the PG-01 grip.

I like the idea of the grip as it seems to offer quick positioning.

I have a Canon 50D & longest lens currently is 70-300 IS USM

I might get a sigma 150-500, not sure hoe the support setup for this type of lens works :shrug:

Which would you rec' out of the above?

Mick

[Ben Hur]

Excellent service again from Joe at Red snapper. Order arrived this morning, so I have a nice new Ball Head to play with.

[Doohickey]

Hi there,

Just wondering roughly how long to expect for shipping on average? I only ask as some people received their stuff next day, I ordered on Monday morning :)

[Mickwreay]

Well, I ordered one of these: -RS-284 with RSH-12 ball head.

And it’s the biggest pile of................................................ .................................................. .............well engineered sub £100 tripod & head I could have bought :clap:

Really pleased with it, very solid, very stable & quick & easy to use.

Ordered late Wed evening & arrived Friday a.m. :thumbs:

Many thanks Joe :clap::clap::clap:

[Euan]

Might be a daft question but whats the thickness of the Arca Swass Clamps base and whats the mounting hole diameter please? Im away from home and dont have my tripod to check the measurements.

[redsnapper]

It's 10mm with 15mm sides and the hole is 6mm.

Joe your a star thank you!

[Chrisbie]

I have been trying to buy RS-284 with RSH24-3 way head on the web site. Price stated is at £49.95 but every time I try to add to basket it fails.

I can add the two items individually but of course that costs more. I have tried the contact us on the website without any response.

Also what is the delivery charge as I cant find that either??

Any ideas anyone ??

Hi, the RSH-24 head is out of stock that's why it won't add to the basket.
When you add to the basket with products and add your address then you get the shipping cost.
Our email client and server have been replaced last week and we're still getting problems with email deliveries but hopefully that will be sorted tomorrow.
The RSH-24 should be back in stock over the coming weekend or following Monday - the delivery charge to mainland UK (not highlands) is £7.95
Hope this helps
Regards
Joe

Ordered mine on Saturday and was attempted to be delivered to the wrong address today doh! how can inter link mis read an internet generated addres label.

Now I have to go and collect from their depot.

Hi, I'm after a tripod and monopod for a canon 400d with canon 400 f5.6 lens. Any recommendations?

Thanks

I've just noticed the mini studio kit.
This looks like a bargain, has anyone bough one?

The RS-283 or RS-284 will be good for your set up. Which head depends on what you shoot.
The RSM-284 monopod and mini ball head is great value at the moment.
Joe

[redsnapper]

Just to let everyone know, the RSH-24 heads are back in stock.
Joe

[david83]

Hi joe,

Thanks for the reply, I've had a look on the site and they look great. Not too sure about the heads, with the new lens I'll be doing alot more wildlife photography, any advice on the head would be appreciated.

Thanks
David

[johnnypanic]

Just decided it was time to treat myself :D

Ordered RS-284 tripod and RSH-12 ballhead. Also treated myself to a monopod and mini ballhead :clap:

David

For wildlife I'd recommend a ball head as they move and lock very quickly.
We have two ball heads - the 'belt and braces' model is the RSH-12 head which will hold 10kg (not many camera + lens combinations weigh that much) or we have just had in a new model, the RSH-61, which can hold 5kg of equipment. The benefit of this smaller head is it weighs only 268gms.
The RSH-61 will be on the website this week but in the meantime the price is £39.95.
Joe

[johnnypanic]

Have received tripod and monopod. Very pleased, the tripod seems a very solid bit of gear.

Bit confused initially fitting the mini ball-head to the monopod, then realised that I had to remove the thread adapter :thinking::bonk:

Hopefully get some time at the weekend for testing purposes and to also show the wife that I did need more gadgets :lol:

OOPS..... misprint!
The price should read £29.95

[dalex_257]

I'm interested - does it have same controls as RSH-20 on a monopod or the larger RSH-12?

[redsnapper]

More like the RSH-12
It is 75mm high and the barrel is 34mm with a 25mm ball.
It's rated at max 5kg and weighs 268gms (all metal construction)
The QR plate matches the RSH-12 QR plate.

Thanks,

So its basically a smaller version of RSH-12. Does it have only two knobs on the ballhead? What is the smaller one for (unlocking the base panning)?

[redsnapper]

Yes, the small one locks the panning base and the large one does the ball movement.
Joe

[Soulman]

Do you think the smaller ballhead is ok for canon 1ds mk2 plus 70-200 lens, or would I need the larger head?

[dalex_257]

Joe,

I wanted to ask if you have any plans to add panning clamps to your heads/tripods range? Something like this (http://www.sunwayfoto.com/html/products/000657.html)? I was looking to get one and RRS seems to be pretty expensive and there are not so many alternatives. The one on the link can replace the clamp on the RSH-12/RSH-61 ballheads with an added advantage of rotating independently head vertical axis.

Thanks

[redsnapper]

If you're using a 1Ds then I'd always plump for the best - the RSH-12.
Although the RSH-61 will handle your setup easily the RSH-12 is just that bit more robust.
Joe

[lensworx]

Just ordered the RS-324 & RSH-12 Head Tonight, Finally got sick of loosing too many shots due to a shoddy lightweight tripod not holding my gear as steady as it should.

[Sifoulkes]

Joe,

I am a newbie and not sure how long I am going to stick with the photography thing (as I am well known for buying toys and then getting bored or not finding the time) !!
Would the RS-284 and RSH-24 3-way head offer pack be the best option for a beginner ?
I have a 550d

Si

[lensworx]

Recieved my RS-324 & RSH-12 today, Fantastic peace of kit.

A+++++++++++

[Sully]

Received RS-284 and RSH-24 today after ordering late Tuesday, great service and a great product :)

[dennis25]

Bought the RS-283 & RHS-12, excellent quality for the price.

[saglik]

Hi,

I just ordered RSH-12 and an extra QR plate.
Just wanted to thank for the %10 discount.

Cheers.

[alexw9]

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask but is it normal for the RSH-12's panning base to be able to move 1 or 2mm despite it being fully tightened?

[redsnapper]

Hi, yes it would.
If you can stretch to it though, try the RSH-528 head - it is a big step above the RSH-24 for a little extra.
Joe

[Lazgoat]

Fantastic service again, ordered a RS-324 & RSH-12 head on Saturday, delivered just now. Great piece of kit, shame its for my sister and I've just discovered I've lost my QR plate, so I have to order again!

[Zarch]

Received my RS-284 and RSH-24 3-way head £50 package and plumped for the RSH-61 Ball Head as well.

Thought I could use the ball head for photography and the 3-way for Video on my little D3100.

Tripod is a lot more chunky and solid than I was expecting, really good stuff. The smaller ball head is a perfect size for my D3100 too.

And it all comes in an over the shoulder carry bag.

Finally, Joe was first class in helping me choose the solution for my set-up and it all arrived next day delivery.

Very very impressed with the whole Red Snapper experience so far. :thumbs:

[stevek]

Just want to add my thanks, order a tripod and head around midnight on Friday and it arrived this morning.

Most impressed, thank you. :thumbs:

[vdubster]

Hi,

Order a RSM-284 Monopod & RSH-20 Mini Ball Head from the special offers page and i must i'm very impressed with the quality and the delivery time.

Now looking at replacing my tripod :-)

I do have a question though, on the RSH-20 Mini Ball Head there's a brass thing near the QR plate release, what's it do? i can't work it out, lol.

Thanks

I've just received the same as you and am also very pleased. Is the brass part for locking/unlocking the quick release lever? If you move the brass lever on mine it moves the locking pin out of the way so you can undo the black lever to release the plate. Then when replacing the the plate you press on the other brass part and the black lever snaps back.

Well thats what i thought but it doesn't really come up enough to lock it, but it's the only thing it could be i guess.

[JeffB95]

Received my RS-283 & RSH-24 3-way head £50 package, today.

Tripod is a lot better & more solid than I was expecting. At first fiddling with it, it feels more solid/stable than the Manfrotto Magfibre that I had on loan from a friend!

Big bonus is the well padded shoulder carry bag.

I too am very impressed with the whole Red Snapper experience so far. I'll now have to find time to get out & use it!

[MunichMag]

Looking for a ball head to use with a gorillapod (the slr-zoom model, rated to carry 3Kg), so don't want anything too heavy which will eat into that 3Kg. Would the RSH-61 be a good match? The heaviest I'd be putting on (of my current kit) would be a Canon 500d and the EFS 55-250 IS lens.

The RSH-61 would be very good - you won't need to get another head if you choose to get a different tripod either.
If the Gorrila pod has a small 1/4" thread then you will need an adaptor to get the head to fit - If you mention this when or if you purchase I'll drop one in the box with the head.
Joe

[MunichMag]

Thanks, Joe. I was trying to find out how much postage would be, so added it to my basket, put in the delivery address (in Hertfordshire) and it calculated £14.95. Is that correct? Is seemed quite a lot.

[rob_c]

Great service from Redsnapper again, Ordered late Friday evening, arrived 8AM this morning.

Ordered the Monopod and ball head combo and the Snapper Duo Bag, they are both great quality and fantastic value for money, definitely recommended.

Thanks Joe for your help.

[redsnapper]

No - that's not correct. £14.95 is Northern Ireland.
It should come up £5.85 if you enter United Kingdom and England and Wales in the drop down boxes.
Joe

[MunichMag]

Thanks, Joe. I'd selected United Kingdom as country and then for the next drop down where it says "Select state/province if applicable" I thought state/province was not applicable for the UK, and I guess it must then default to the rate for Northern Ireland. May be worthwhile while making it mandatory to choose one of the options if the chosen country is UK. It shouldn't be hard to change the website code to do this, and you wouldn't run the risk of people being put off buying if they don't choose anything and get quoted £14.95 delivery by mistake.

What's the difference between the options "England and Wales" and "England and Wales: local pickup"? Both seem to be £5.85.

[alexw9]

Hi, definitely not.
Please return it to us and we'll check it out for you.
Joe

A big thanks to you Joe and Red Snapper who replaced the tripod head with no hassle, brilliant service.

[MunichMag]

Just tried to order the RSH-12 (I say tried because windows started installing updates and shut itself down halfway through), but I noticed that even though the discount code RED10 was accepted, it didn't reduce the total at all. Is this code still active? I know it isn't valid for special offer items but I didn't see this head in the specials section.

[hzv5wk]

Received my RSH-12 and Snapper Duo bag yesterday. Really pleased with them both. Thanks for the 10% discount :thumbs:

A couple of points

Although the paperwork inside the box clearly showed my name along with the delivery address, the shipping label just had the address with no name. Caused a bit of confusion as it was delivered to a business address where 1500 people work and the mail room had no idea who it was for!

Could do with an instruction sheet for the RSH-12. Can't work out the difference between the large and small knobs which lock the ball :thinking:

[MunichMag]

Spoke to Joe on the phone and put my tripod head order through again and got the 10% discount. Thanks, Joe.

Sorry about the address thing - bit of a mistake entering details this end!
With the ball head the small knob is to lock the panning movement, the midlle sized knob gives a friction setting on the ball and the large knob locks the ball.
Hope this helps.

Hi,

I have a SLIK sprint mini GM tripod (http://www.thkphoto.com/products/slik/slik-ss3.html), would your RS-PG01 Pistol Grip Head (http://www.redsnapperuk.com/camera-accessories/RS-PG01_Pistol_Grip_Head.html#nogo) fit it, or would I need a new tripod. I will be using a D90 with a 50mm lens, so not much weight.

Awesome product to be honest! And really didnt expect the bag that comes with it as well. You can tell its a quality product as soon as you fold out the legs.

[chocky]

Just had a good look at your site, came perilously close to ordering the 284 with a 528 (although i might go for the 284 with 24 head) head until i saw delivery costs. Tried the RED10 code but it keeps saying code not recognised? EDIT: My bad, it does work, i just put a space after it, noob lol :D

How come the code doesnt work for the RS-284 and RSH-24 3-way head?

fair play, cheers fella. Didnt realise it was on special offer. Oh well, cant complain, seems a decent price for such a decent bit of kit. Speaking of which, what price is it normally?

Both heads will fit the monopod but ideally for ease of use and light weight the RSH-61 would be best for the monopod.

[oldestswinger]

Following lots of positive comments regarding the quality of redsnapper gear I ordered a tripod and 3way head from their site. I arranged with Joe to call in and collect it on my way to a business meeting and I cannot commend enough their service and customer friendly attitude. I ended up paying a bit more for the ball head after Joe and I chatted about the differences between the two and time spent looking at each. They are a great company to do business with and deserve our support. I for one will look to them first to see what else they've got before spending with the big bullyboys

Just bought a RS-284 and RSH-528 3-Way Panning Head. Looking forward to receiving them, maybe tomorrow?!

[redsnapper]

Will the monopod support a 450D with the Sigma 70-200 f2.8 attached?

It will - easily.

Just ordered RS-283 tripod and RSH-24 head...

I was just wondering is there a option to buy a spare quick release plate for RSH-24 ?

Little suggestion: maybe you could add a pictures of quick release plate's bottom side... when i was buying tripod i was wondering how does the plates screw looks like.

Hi

Looking at purchasing a RS-324 and possibly a monopod.

Could you tell me if i can use my Manfrotto 498RC2 head without a problem on the RS-324 also would the supplied case fit the tripod with the head attached (head is 12.5cm high) ?

Finally if i purchase both are the shipped together in one parcel ?

Cheers, Carl

[Carlos68]

Ordered after speaking to Joe :thumbs:

[bulldog5988]

[RubyX4]

Joe - I have a D5000 and biggest zoom is currently 70-300VR. Should I get the RS-283 or the RS284 (both plus the ballhead)?

[chrispons]

[redsnapper]

Will the monopod support a 450D with the Sigma 70-200 f2.8 attached?

I was treated (with some gentle prompts :) ) to a RS-284 tripod and RSH-24 ball head for fathers day in June. Been using it for a few weeks now and am over really pleased. Really nice bit of kit...

[dubcat]

I am interested in the Duo bag but I would love to see a pic of someone actually wearing it with camera and a few lenses plus laptop in the bag. Can anyone help?

Also, can this take a regular laptop like a standard issue Lenovo (410) in my case - or a macbook pro 15"?

Hope someone can help - would love to order this. So much cheaper than Domke which it reminds me of.

Got the 324 and RSH12 ball head and the quality is superb. Feels as good as "Known" brands at less than half the cost and it comes with more stuff. Excellent :)

I don't have any images as you requested but Marcel (TP moderator) did a review with images on TP a while ago - maybe try a search?

In my experience, Redsnapper kit is excellent value!

[GeForce Junky]

I sent a email to sale@redsnapperuk.com on the 20th regarding a snapped tripod head :eek: and haven't got a reply yet. Any chance you could hurry up and reply please Joe :help:

Done search and didn't see a pic of a person wearing one. Will it take a MacBook pro 15"?

you've missed the 's' off of sales, the email is sales@redsnapperuk.com or is that a typo on here?

[GeForce Junky]

Good spot, but yes, its just a typo. My email was definatly sent to the right address :-)

[Razor-BladE]

Edit: Don't worry. Bought a different tripod 2nd hand.

[hamster100]

Last night I ordered a RS283 with RSH24 head, look forward to receiving them next week.

I'm sure they will be as good as everyone says they are, I will let you all know!

Received it last night and I'm well impressed with the quality and service. Great value for money.

on the check-out....
just ordered a new ball head , with extra plates :)..mark

[dtsrules2]

Went to order a tripod, put the code in and it came up ok, then my pc crashed and when i went back to reorder the code wouldn't work. I did email asking if the code was still ok to use but have heard nothing back.

[dtsrules2]

Just been on again and the shipping seems to have gone to £14.95. Not that much of a bargain anymore so will look elsewhere.

Managed to sort it now. Still not getting the discount though, does anyone know if it's still available.

The discount is still available (enter RED10) on redsnapper items not on the Offers page.
The shipping of £14.95 is for Northern Ireland only.
