Hi Folks,
I have the D300 with MB-D10 battery pack and use AAA batteries in the pack.
When I picked the camera up from the store I explained that I needed a lightweight not too expensive tripod to take to Cyprus.
I already have a Giottos tripod but considered this to be too heavy to take with me.
The dealer suggested the National Geographic Tundra NGTT1 Ball Head
http://www.fotosense.co.uk/shop_details.asp?productID=5319
He assured me that it would be OK in terms of weight and suggested it would easily take 2 - 3 kg's. The D300 is 823g's and heaven knows what the battery grip with 8 x AAA's is.
I can now see that the NGTT1 has a recommended weight of 1kg.
Has anyone any experience of this tripod. Do you think I should keep it or take it back. If I take take it back do you have any suggestions? Happy to pay £100 or a bit more if necessary.
You may have read my notes elsewhere about being the photographer at my Daughters wedding in Cyprus! Need to get it right, even if I don't need the tripod I feel it will be a useful product to have. Will of course need it to put me in the photos!
Regards
Chris
