This is also something that has bugged me since trading in my old 500D for a 7D. Subscribed.

Thanks I did look at those earlier and this one looked good to me for my budget. http://www.redsnapperuk.com/camera-accessories/RSF-284M_RSH-61_30_Ball_Head.html

I will need a head also, the budget can stretch a little if necessary.

Yes no problems buying second hand, just need a model number or two so I can do some research and find some within budget. Yes I'm not too far from the Peak District so will need to carry it which I don't mind, if it has a shoulder strap carry case then even better.

I"m sorry this has been asked a lot I know but I have a budget of around £100 for a tripod to be used for mainly landscape/outdoor photography. I have a Canon 7D and will mainly be using a 24-105 L lens with it.

I like the edit, I think some of the black pauses go on for a little too long though.

Very nice!

Looks great Geof, lovely colours. Maybe you can crop in to the image a little more as I think you can see where it's been rotated on each of the corners?

Just charged up a battery that showed 85% in the camera and when it had finished the light just turned off, but as you say it seems to be charging the battery and had taken around 100 shots to go from 100% to 85%.

Thanks Phil, I did try one of my friends third party batteries in my charger and it did the same as the genuine battery. Just flashes once a second for a few hours then when it's fully charged the orange light just turns off which led me to think that the charger may be faulty.

Hi all, I recently took delivery of a used 7D mk1 and when I tried to charge the battery it only ever flashes once a second and when it's apparently fully charged the light just turns off and doesn't go green. It is a genuine charger and battery but when I get the battery status in camera it...

Thanks for the feedback Paul, I'm hoping to get out a lot more with my camera this year.

Go easy on me this is the first landscape photograph I have taken for a long, long time. I was quite an active poster when I had my Canon 500D but over the years I struggled to find the time to go out and take photographs, skip ahead 4 years and I've purchased a second hand 7D for a great price...

Thank you for the responses and recommendations. I really like the look of the Lencarta twin head kit with 2 softboxes but I feel this is out of my budget. I've got around £200 and could at an absolute push get together £250. I would also need to get some kind of white sheet/glossy sheet to lay...
