Re: interesting
I'm in too much of a rush this morning but I'll update you in a few hours. That site is a bit slimy but I ordered one anyway after checking for it through other sources. Sweet. How much was it? I have a nephew photographer who might be interested. Enjoy

Re: Watch the price
First the $149 "regular" price appears to be bullshit. They offered an additional 30 % of the price that first appears and that brings it to what the real price should be -- $39. Okay I got one for that as well. Boy they sure badger you to buy additional products -- you have to scroll down to get the "no thanks" buttons.
My challenge will be that it is meant to screw to the bottom of the camera and I keep arca swiss plates on the bottom of mine (actually L brackets on both of them). I'm going to look at putting it on my travel tripod with a plate bolted to it but haven't had time to research it yet. Pardon my ignorance, but couldn't you add that to the top of the bracket?... Enjoy

My first thought is, there is no tightening screw or knob for the joints. I can't think of what I would use it for. I saw that too. It looks like it depends on friction to hold in place, and that there are allen-key hex socket bolts that could adjust the friction. Not the best. I also wondered why the level bubble was on the base not the top where it would be most useful. Enjoy Edited by RAZD, : .

I've used bubble levels on transit tripods and level tripods when surveying -- large ones. I've also used perpendicular spirit levels, which are a little more tedious to set (one is never truly independent of the other). But I would want the level on the top where the camera is mounted. Enjoy

Re: personal review TBA
... I will be out of action for more than two weeks with a surgery scheduled soon. ... Hopefully they won't be removing your humorous bone ...

Re: Affordable
Then, as every one in the US knows from the republicans, I have cancer and have to wait to get in for my surgery. In my case, that will be a total of about 7 weeks from diagnosis. I thought the waiting time was based on triage, treating the most life threatening first. So I take it that your cancer is not aggressive at this point.
The prognosis is excellent so I will be lurking here for a few more years. You'll be a welcome new member to Cancer Survivors (now reopened), with Queen Asgara and myself ... keep us posted (I had wifi at hospital - does yours?) Strength bro Edited by RAZD, : . Edited by RAZD, : .

Re: Prognosis
I am told I have "low grade" (i.e., slow growing) colon cancer. I complained that I deserved to have a better quality than that but my doc laughed at me. Have your doctor monitor it to catch if it starts metastasizing. If it does then you need to fast track.
