The End of my Tripod :-(

Ouch! I hope you have given it a good burial (in the recycle bin). Time to get the credit card out and buy that new carbon fiber you've always coveted. Hey, have you heard from Torfinn recently? He dropped off of the planet didn't he? Cheers! Chris

you took a picture of it!!!

You are not alone - my manfrotto tripod gave out on me a few weeks ago after very good service - I was simply tightening the camera on the tripod when a piece of metal just broke off just when I was about to take a photo of a stream with surrounding fall colors. I now have a new manfrotto 055xbPRO - a little heavier but my budget would not allow the carbon fiber. best regards,.

Hate losing an old friend...

Hi Rich,

Got a new one by now I guess and a new camera I see!!

I am making a comeback..
