just orderd up me (brian) 3 legged thing anyone got any views on this item ,im hoping this will be a good addition to my camera im hoping to get into a bit of macro work although the lens i favor for my camera is way overpriced panasonic leica 45mm around the 500 pound bracket. also hoping to use for wildlife shots they say you can use the ball head at less tightened position and still move the camera for tracking subjects.anyway the tripod seems to be a good lightweight travel tripod gets 5 stars in the ap magazine .arrives monday.although i thought i was buying british found it is made in china like everything .
