Weird Winder 2 problem. Just replaced the 141 head on my cheap Manfrotto
tripod with the quick release 141RC version (er...3030 for 3029 on my Bogen
I think - here, bogan is local dialect for urban redneck!).
Problem 1 - when using the tripod collar on a 300/4.5, the quick release
lever and catch fouled the winder - easy to fit, almost impossible to
remove!
Problem 2 - when bolting the camera/winder 2 to the tripod instead, the
screw in the quick release plate 'bottomed' in the hole so that I couldn't
tighten it (no problem in the camera body itself).
I LIKE to use the winder for tele and macro work - anyone solved this one?
Andrew
