Hi,
I take a lot of panoramas and my current tripod doesn't have a level on it at all (Redsnapper). I know that the legs need to be level in order to capture a good panorama, and it drives me crazy watching the built in camera level wandering off every time I pan. Now, I know I can buy a panoramic plate for £45 or so which I could add to my current tripod, but I don't want to invest that money into a tripod which bellow average anyway. I would rather put the £45 towards a ball head which had a built in level on it (on the base of the head rather than the actual quick release) or towards a better second hand tripod which has a bubble level. I shoot most of my photos whilst hill walking, so I don't want anything that weighs too much either.
Can anyone offer suggestions for a second hand tripod or head which would meet my needs?
Thanks,
Stevie
