choosing a tripod

[Belle&Sebastain]

ok why do i say i need a tripod my height?...because i know nuts about tripods but i heard they say its best to have a tripod your height without extending for max stability..
and some how i feel three way is so much faster and convieint,, bam you're potrait..blam you're landscape....ball heads a little fiddly i think.
tell me guys why you all like ball heads more?

my boy, i almost broke my back bending down too much shooting food two days ago, ouch, its wasn't a case of short tripod, its the table i'm working on is too low, so the same with having the tripod height suitable to yours.

yo man! i just bought the 055proB with a slik800 head..... looks cool... i realised i can use it without the centre column and its just my eye level... without the centre column that means i can shoot worm view stuff too! yeah!

not at all sure what you mean by 'without centre column"? how?

I am always glad that Chris is dishing out good solid advices with experiences to share and not only going for the top brands (ala top $$$).

and said 'Slik 330 is just nice for u'
