Ge Top Load Washer Size Knob Bracket Broke

This is a well designed and manufactured tripod foot. I was considering between Kirk and RRS and I went for Kirk because the knob design does not include a brass washer where it contacts the foot and happy with my choice. On the RSS LCF models, I find that the knob sometimes gets very tight and takes a lot of force to loosen and I blame the brass washer. CNC work is very good. Let's say it's at the same level as the best. Lever button which release the lock on the lens is well designed and locks with a satisfying click. You can't see it in the photo, but the button is shaped to stay flush with the foot profile, so you cannot see the button sticking out from the side. The only reservation I had was the plastic logo that sticks onto the foot. I would have preferred a laser engraved logo. My experience with these plastic logo is that it yellows out after years of use and may even drop out. But after mounting it on the lens, I don't notice it anymore.

Great little camera for its size and prize. The viewfinder and usual Canon control knob on top are what I like over the M100.

I just received my ION and will be using it this weekend for a wedding shoot. While I haven't had real world experience with it my testing in the studio has all been positive. The ability to throw a lot of light with my strobes vs. trying to bounce a speedlight off a cocktail napkin will open up a new world of possibilities. For some reason I find myself doing a lot of Golf Course weddings and being able to go cordless should be very helpful. The quality of the product is great. It recharged quickly and it doesn't weigh much so moving it around is a piece of cake. The only caution I'll throw out is that the bracket that attaches to your light stand may need some adjustment before you try and mount the battery. The screw that holds that bracket to the stand has a washer that I assume is intended to protect the light stand. There's a screw that holds it (the washer) to the bracket and mine wasn't screwed in fully. When I tightened that bracket to the light stand the screw head put a nice dent and scratch in the stand. Not the end of the world but slightly annoying. Other than that, all good and well worth the investment.

So far this bracket is much better than the one I just broke. It is more durable and it is very versatile. I use it with my sb600. Great price.

It locks my flashes securely (in conjunction with the flash knob which locks from the top).

Reels are easy to load, the top goes on and you are on your way. Couldn't be simpler.

Someone please tell me any other film washer better than this.

Best for its size, weight, load, stiffness.

Perfect size to load photos and to take on the go

Perfect fit to top off my monopod. The tension knob is very sturdy
