Originally posted by edgedemon Heie, I have no idea if you really know what you are talking about when it comes to tripods
I just copied and pasted that from different reviews I found off google and the manufacturer's website
Originally posted by edgedemon but I respect your photography, and admire your obvious enthusiasm for this device, so I have ordered one based purely on your review.
Take that as a compliment, as it means I trust your judgement enough to spend more on this than I ever have for a tripod before having only ever bought cheap tripods as I don't use them enough.
Im trying to develop my night-time cityscape skills as my winter task and a portable decent quality pod that I can carry around with me has become essential, and after your review this seemed a no brainer..
Don't worry, I won't blame you if it all goes horribly wrong!!
In all seriousness that is a tremendous compliment on all accounts, and your admission and purchase alone validates that review. Adam was pretty shocked when he asked me how much time I invested in that review when all was said and done (35+ hours in the product photos and write-up, thankfully the majority of the sample images had been taken over the course of owning the previous tripod, which I contend is more than any tripod review ever written!
). As was I. My wife, on the other hand, was not pleased
I will be extremely interested to see how you take to it, and like TaoMaas says, it's an investment. I for one was never planning to replace the T-025 (original) model, but the company was so impressed with the review they contacted me and offered me the T-025x as a gift when I told them the tripod reviewed was a loaner from B&H.
Disclaimer - I wrote it 100% without their knowledge, but just sent the link to them after it was posted - in no was was it was not an endorsed review.
Now that I have the T-025x, I don't see myself
ever replacing it because the only thing I
really wanted was to remove the center column for better stability...now that they did that, I can't think of a single thing to REALLY make it better. Unless it gets run over by a car and needs to be replaced -
with another T-025x!
Again, thank you for the feedback, and please share your thoughts on it and whether they mirror the review's. I'm really excited to see what you can do with it
