Mine is horrible. Very wobbly now. And the D300 w/ or w/o the grip is heavy, and the 24-70 on the front of it can add some weight as well. Its just better suited now as a light stand for the speedlight(s). I am going to get something with a nice ball head/pistol grip

damn you guys. lol only thing you have up on me is lights! haha

its cool though, i'm getting a little over 300 back from taxes so that'll be going towards savings (i think now) so i can decide between coils for the car and then once i get my job going soon, lights will be coming!

Having lights is one thing, learning to use them is another thing. There's a lot of theory behind it.

go with a nikon sb-26, pick them up near a hundo, and you can get into strobing.

i rock manfrotto/bogen tripods, but thats me

I'm looking at this tripod now:

785B Bogen - Manfrotto Modo Maxi Black Tripod Legs with Hybrid Joystick Ball Head

$60 shipped isn't bad , has anyone used the joystick ball heads? Are they any good?

I'm still taking suggestions for other tripods too so lmk if you know of something decent for under $80
