I got read your review and I like it. You think its better than the Fancier? about $40 more.

I have no experience with the fancier, but I generally prefer twist locks rather than flip locks. S$40 isn't a lot when you take into account what you're mounting on the tripod.

Hi

Sorry for hijacking.

Can slik 340dx take a nikon D90/D300 with 70-300 VR lens at potrait mode with the lens fully extend?

That's probably the heaviest setup I may potentially go in next 2-3 years. Hmm maybe add in a SB900 flash.

Thanks.
