Re: [Rollei] What's your favourite tripod?

["Fox, Robert" <RFox >]

Dennis,

I use a Bogen 3021 pro legs with the super sturdy Bogen 3047 pan/tilt head. I usually have the center column removed from the tripod. The legs can be locked into 4 preset angles separately, including an ultra wide angle that is only 6 inches off the ground.

The head can hold 16.5 pounds max. I use mostly TLRs, and they sit on top of this beefy combination like a small cherry on top of a triple scoop ice cream cone.

I like this combination for its stability and ease of use. It's rock solid. If I was going to do any action photography that required quick changes I would prefer to use a ball head like the Arca Swiss monoball, which is used by many nature photographers.

BTW, the rolleifix works perfectly in conjunction with the QR plate of the 3047 head.

What's your favourite tripod to use with your Rolleiflex, especially 600x 
gears?

Please also state the head you use and the pros and cons of the combination.

Regards,
Dennis
