Really Correct Things doesn’t have the 70-200mm ƒ/2.8 VR alternative foot in inventory, so this is my momentary set up. It is composed of:
– Gitzo 1228LVL leveling tripod
– Really Suitable Stuff BH-55 ballhead
– Wimberley Sidekick (the clamp is on upside down so you are unable to see the symbol)
– Definitely Appropriate Things PCL-II panoramic clamp
– Actually Proper Things D70 L bracket
– Nikon D70 (you can see the UpStrap and Zing hand strap that are hooked up to it)
– Nikon TC-20E II doubler
– Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor ED 70-200mm f/2.8G IF (there is a Kirk replacement knob connected to it)

It works—the gimbal head glides so simply that Caitlin now thinks that 3-way heads are crap. The big trouble is that considering the fact that it is mounted on the L-bracket, it is hell to switch from landscape to portrait. A RRS or Kirk image substitute foot or Wimberley plate would deal with that. On the other hand, the pano clamp lets me to mount the Nikon with any lens I very own. That may possibly prove quite beneficial for vertical or cubic panoramics.

IMO, this is a wonderful example of why you should use Arca-Swiss-compatible gear. The flexibility of mix-and-match is fun. 🙂

This photo is a cheat. I actually took the shot of my Nikon set up on my porch and composited in a person of my rejected photographs of a seagull at Point Lobos (concealed at the rear of the camera). The highlights are blown for the reason that I you should not know how to use my girlfriend’s digicam to do fill flash.
