Heads typically add 2.5-3.5 inches to the static height of the tripod up to the head seat, and the camera adds another increment too (which varies depending upon camera, portrait and landscapt orientation...). I found the range I wanted, after measuring things a lot, was 51 to 56 inches, the more the better. The larger of these two, then, would be acceptable per my criteria. > The C-228 is $199 at B&H. So the ones I got would be just shy of about double the price. I felt the additional load capacity and height, along with the low weight and compactness, was worth it ... but that's a call only you can make. :-) Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
