Thanks for your response Felix, the Tripod is Slik F740 and my gear is still pretty much the K-x with kit (18-55mm) and 55-300mm DAL zoom for now.. Gitzo is the best huh? Noob question, what distinguishes it from the others? How'd they compare price-wise as well?
Reason why I bought the Tripod is coz I might be going to Philippines soon for work and might take a day out to Tagaytay where they have the Volcano and is very picturesque.. might make some nice picture taking.. albeit very amateur on my part .. ;p
Hope to pick up more tips and such from you folks and make it to next Pentaxian outing if I can make it across the causeway to make it!
