Adrian, I went to get the full RRS setup, but the tripod legs are on backorder for god knows how long. Gitzo is just as good to me.


Tripod legs

Ballhead

RRS L Plate for D3( I have D3s, so it'll work the same)


Awesome, looks like you made a good choice. I see you got the Gitzo legs with the thicker part at the bottom, should be strong enough for you.


Yeah. If I have any problems with the Gitzo legs, i'll send them back and get the RRS legs in 2 weeks.

I am very excited to be able to use a VERY high end tripod for once. No more camera creep on the ball head. I'll be able to give my Lee big stopper and my Lee SW 150 for a real spin for a change.


That is one heck of a system!

LOL, wish I could! Hope to pick up some grids and strip light boxes soon, and a Nikkor 14-24 2.8 again one day (had one and sold it, like a fool).

Especially now with the Lee SW 150.

Indeed, that solved the only downside I ever saw with the 14-24.
