it's a public forum
If you were caught eating on a train, you think its ok if you say its public transport?
compare apple to apple, orange to orange.
1 is illegal since it's stated, the other isn't
thanks for try to understand
I take it that you are not familiar with the rules of this forum then.....
maybe yes maybe no, well at least it isn't crossing the line of discussing something illegal
Its a definite no, so go read up.
Get a good quality Tripod dude. It's worth the investment in a long run. The Nikon SL-XXX is an El-Cheapo tripod which is worth for nothing IMHO.
No. Get something more fancy than the Fancier like a Manfrotto or a Benro. The Fancier looks* flimsy to me and I think your equipment deserves a better tripod.
*only saw the pictures in the web.

i am using the fancier.
pros: light weight. can support 4kg easily.
cons: thin legs, translating to weak support (even though ball head can take the weight), which translates to a greater chance of vibration when used with 300mm lenses or more.
i use my fancier only a few times a year, and only for fireworks and landscape. i use it (if i do use it), its to use as a lightstand for my speedlight.
for a once a year usage with a D300 and 12-24, i rather spend that money on something else, then plunge 1k on a tripod.
thats me anyway.

to redname: so many has said it already, i shall not say it anymore, pls try to respect other ppl's thread, thanks
to the rest: thanks for helping me to say out
to geekbrains: ya, that nikon one is rather weak... that is why consider another alternative...
to sl005073: hmm.. which one do u recommend? silk tripod?
to lsisaxon: hmm... cos i am using a d90, and my heaviest lens is only 70-300vr, therefore wondering whether worth it to invest 500-600 on a tripod...
to luntut: how is the extension of the tripod leg, or rotating the ball head, is it smooth handling? if fully extend, it is a lot more stable that the nikon sl 168?

Please refrain from OT per TS' request. This is a basic netiquette. Thank you.
