Seems that if you already decided on Q3T, then you basically should be looking at 1541THi all,
I intend to mount a Markins Q3T ballhead on Gitzo tripod. Which tripod would you recommend?
which 70-200 IS USM are you referring to? f2.8 or f4.0? It make quite a big different in terms of weight.I'm using a 40d + batt grip , heaviest lens used would be 70-200mm IS L USM.
I have the GT1541T and Q3T combo for about 6 mth. Very compact, light weight, ideal for travelling. Stable for my D300 and 18-200 lens unless under very strong wind, (like oceania wind, where it's strong enough to blow your hair straight back). Used it for long exposure from seconds to 10 minutes (see a 7.5 minutes star trails shot at www.flickr.com/photos/freelah4me) and have not failed me. Advisable to use a remote cord though.
TK foto.I'm keen on the same setup as well, but new in the scene. Where would I be able to buy the GT1541T + Q3 for a decent price?
Thanks in advance.
I am glad that I'd bought the 1541T for its potability. Just felt so light. Now Still looking for a good carry bag to go with it.
The only thing that I have compromised is the $$$ and the height.
Stability, so far so good.
Glad to hear that...
I'm still in the process of saving $$ for the tripod...:sweat:
What BH u are using??:think:
Bro, I must say that you are one of the folks here that helped me to make this great decision on 1541T. I committed it on the second day after reading your post and some of those link via your posts You had done a very good review on the Q3 and making my heart itch.
However, I went for Kangrinpoche eventually to save some $$$. So far it has delivered what it promised but I may one day change to Q3T if I can't overcome my itch.
TKPhoto, Shaw.I am looking the gitzo traveller tripod , does anyone know where I can find one in singapore ?
Get 1541. 1541T is better matched with Q3T. But you have already gotten the Q3.i just got a Q3 and i'm comparing the 1541 and 1541T. How do they match up? i would prefer the 1541 as is taller. weight is slightly higher. is it significant to most ppl? oh yes and it is taller when close up
