Hi all,
Like to have some opinions on whether the SLIK Sprint Pro tripod is suitable for DSLR? Does anyone have any experience with this combo? ![]() |

metallilan is using this combo with his d70 + 18-70 kit lens... might want to ask him.
anyway personally i think it is very possible but if you got the $ to spare, go for the 330dx instead... much much steadier. price wise it is about 110-120+... not much more expensive than the sprint pro |

Get the 330DX if you need stability and you use it often.
For me, i don't have any heavy lenses, and i don't use my tripod often. Reason is because my sprint pro is inherited from my use of my prosumer camera before i upgraded. The Sprint Pro is a versatile and light tripod, but i had problems getting it to be steady because its 4 section and i have to be careful not to nudge it else camera shake will occur during long exposure. I havent had much problems with the Sprint Pro with my D70 so far...took it out for all the SFF and fireworks events... but like i said, i prefer the the 330DX for its stability... The choice is yours ![]() Last edited by metallilan; 18th September 2006 at 10:49 PM. |
