Benro and Photo Clam

This is my new travel support, Benro C-068M8 Travel Angel carbin fiber tripod with Photo Clam PC-33NS ball head. It's a very compact setup. Folds down to 14 1/2". It can hold my 1Ds MK II with the 28-70mm f/2.8. I can even point my camera down with no creeping! But, I wouldn't use the center column. It's not very steady. Especially with the 1Ds MK II and 28-70.  I would also recommend hanging your bag or a beanbag on the hook. This is going to be much better than my previous travel support, Slik Mini Pro tripod. No more planting my face on the sidewalk or setting up on trash cans LOL

See "Reflections" for test shot.
