nick_doan Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 I just ordered the teleconverter, and was hoping to use it for a shoot this weekend. However, I realized that I will probably need to mount onto a tripod when using the teleconverter, but I forgot to order the Tripod Collar. I don't think I can get it before this weekend without paying too much for one. (Our local stores charge way more than a mail order company.) Should I be safe mounting this combination with my eos 3 attached to my bogen 3030 head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron_lam Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 I think it will be "safe" but it won't be that steady. Just be sure you hold keep the setup steady and maybe use a bag to steady it. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canon man Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 If your going to be shooting wildlife or other subjects wher you can stay miving you can always use the shooters rest. That would be either a home made bean bag(or a sand bag) or I tend to use the crook of my arm a lot ond quite nicely. It works great for target shooting also!

larry_lambert1 Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 What's the local store's return policy? (hint hint ;-) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_doan Posted March 5, 2003 Author Share Posted March 5, 2003 Hahaha Larry! I didn't even think about that. But, I did call around to a couple of my local stores, and none of them carry it. They just special order it from their repair departments. So, I decided to suck it up and mail order it with two day shipping. I got the black version, so the price should offset the cost of the shipping. Thanks everyone. btw, I am not sure exactly what you mean by the shooter's rest. The position I have in mind wouldn't be much more stable... Anybody have a picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_doan Posted March 5, 2003 Author Share Posted March 5, 2003 I guess I meant the crook of the arm thing, not the sandbag... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan pullen Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 Not sure what you are shooting- but you may want to think about using your mirror lock up if you are going below 1/30th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pc1 Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 guess what Daniel Sandlin meant was the position like shooting a rifle,with the lens rested on the crook of ur arm,like the rifle barrel......pc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_doan Posted March 9, 2003 Author Share Posted March 9, 2003 Thanks, Paul. I might have to try that, I'd be afraid of moving one of the rings in the crook of my arm though. Anyway, I just ordered the black Tripod Ring and had it shipped two day. So I got it Friday afternoon. Well in time for Saturday morning's shoot.
