Box Hill North Post Office Opening Hours

Love this tripod. It's a bit heavier than the Gitzo Traveler, but still light enough to carry around on an extended shoot. It's also taller than the Traveler. The added length is useful when you're on the side of a hill. You can place one leg down the hill without having to lower the height of your camera. If you need to get the camera up high, you can without raising the center post and placing your equipment in an unstable position. The center post can be removed with a simple twist of the wrist enabling you to lower the camera to just inches above the ground. If you're looking for the best tripod on the market, this is it. Well worth the price.

Satisfaction upon opening the box

Mix this at a paint store before opening. It will save you hours of your life.

I can't say enough good things about this scope. I was apprehensive at first because I know that refractors are the go to when it comes to astrophotography, but not wanting to spend $4,000+ on a mount and scope, I opted for this Newtonian. Granted there is a fairly steep learning curve and many mistakes were made along the way, but I have learned a lot and have achieved some magazine worthy shots, IMHO. Couple of key points - when using the all-star polar alignment feature, BE SURE your scope is pointing within a few degrees of TRUE NORTH. If you are using your smart phone to point you in the direction of North BE SURE you change in your settings that you want your compass to point True North. This has saved me HOURS and HOURS of frustration trying to get the Polar alignment to work. Get yourself a Bahtinov mask - you won't achieve frustration free focus without it.

My office is in the basement but there are a few windows (the windows face north and are at least 20 ft away from my computer). I've had the keyboard for a few weeks and it has stayed charged mainly from the overhead lights. This keyboard has an excellent feel to it and having a separate numerical pad makes it a great replacement for the Apple keyboard that came with my iMac.

I was able to set this up within the first 2 mins of opening the box. Super intuitive to use for my amateur needs.

What a great product. Easy enough to be useful within a few minutes of opening the box.

Picked up the 11-24 at the Post Office; took few shots of the steering wheel; and drove right into the Talkeetna mountains. Having used fisheyes for year I thought I would know what to do with an 11mm rectilinear...but this lens is different. My instant favorite lens for off-trail Alaska landscapes. Image quality and sharpness are excellent. Distortion is very low. Makes incredible panoramas that don't look stretched out. Heavy...but it's also a 20, 17, 14,13 and 12mm! Once in my hands weight doesn't matter! Use the 11mm most but love the zoom!

This has saved me hours in post. I love that I can use them for both my rigs and not have to spend hours finding the times to match. I recommend to all my colleagues.

I spent hours upon hours looking for the perfect travel tripod. I am a big fan of Manfrotto, however didn't seem to find an equivalent. The dimensions are perfect for air travel and it is very easy to set up. Feels very sturdy and solid, height is perfect (I'm 6 foot) and do not need to bend over. Center post down with battery grip and it is still useable. Center post can be inverted to hold camera upside-down right above the ground. This is really a two in one with the monopod. ONLY complaint is the location of the foam grip when using the monopod is too low, but this is not an issue, and cannot be fixed.
