Forests of Maryland-Logic Pro and Final Cut

This was from our vacation to DC although the video is of the rivers and forests around where we stayed, Columbia, MD. I didn't want to lug my Canon XHA1 around DC. I left my big tripod at home and used my Manfrotto 560B monopod. The song was done in Logic Studio 8, using a Yamaha DGX-505. Filmed in HD with my Canon XH-A1. Edited in Final Cut Studio 2.

Manfrotto 190XPROB Tripod

Newly redesigned, the 190XPROB makes the famous Manfrotto-patented horizontal centre column feature even easier to use. Now, by extending the column to its highest vertical position, it can be swung round to horizontal without removing the head or disassembling the column itself, so switching between framing and positioning setups is more convenient than ever. The ergonomics of the leg angle release mechanism and the quick action leg locks themselves have also been greatly improved.

Manfrotto 327RC2 Manfrotto 327RC2 Joystick Head with Quick Release (Black)

Wholesale Manfrotto 327RC2 Joystick Head with Quick Release (Black) great joystick ballheadBy Phillip WardI bought this ballhead after countless hours reviewing different ballheads from various manufacturers. I was tired of the ballheads with 2 or more knobs when I was trying to quickly adjust for a picture. this ballhead is great with its one-handed operation. adjustments can be made very quickly as far as orientation. you can pan up and down and go from portrait to landscape with a simple squeeze and gliding the camera into position. this can be quickly and easily flipped for either right or left-handed use.I bought this for use with the Manfrotto 055ProB tripod, and it makes a great combination in my opinion. it's a bit hefty, but you can be sure it will be stable for your gear.I don't have heavy gear. my heaviest combination would be my 5D II, 24-70 f/2.8L "brick" lens, and 580 EX II flash. this ballhead holds all ... »» Read more about Manfrotto 327RC2 Joystick Head with Quick Release (Black).

Manfrotto 420B Manfrotto 420B 3- Section Combi- Boom Stand with Sand Bag - Replaces 3397,3397B (Black)

Best price for Manfrotto 420B 3- Section Combi- Boom Stand with Sand Bag - Replaces 3397,3397B (Black) Shoddy PackagingBy T C KnightI ordered this stand from Amazon on May 30. When I received it 7 days later there was no literature inside the box at all, no manual, nothing. Also, it was missing the knob to tighten the boom articulation. Since Amazon does not have a retail store, I can't imagine why this stuff was missing from the box. All I can imagine is Manfrotto is sloppy in packaging. I went to the Manfrotto site and all they offer is a schematic of the parts. Okay, I got the part number but have to send my request for replacement through their general email box. How long will it take to get to the order department? Only they know. Looking around on their site, I find there is NO MANUAL AVAILABLE for download. What kind of service is this? Of course, trying to contact Amazon is a ... »» Read more about Manfrotto 420B 3- Section Combi- Boom Stand with Sand Bag - Replaces 3397,3397B (Black).

Manfrotto 190CXPRO3 Manfrotto 190CXPRO3 3-Section Pro Carbon Fiber Tripod without Head

Hey take a look at this Manfrotto 190CXPRO3 3-Section Pro Carbon Fiber Tripod without Head This one is better than Gitzo'sBy kuzyaI know, this sounds far-fetched, but this one is actually better than more expensive Gitzos. Of course, Gitzos are also made by Manfrotto, so it's not surprising. First, you will find that lever leg locks on this one are much more convenient than tubular locks on Gitzo. Second, the 90 degree switching central column is very useful. Third, the bubble level that you can actually use!I use mine with Kirk BH-3 and they both seems to be made for each other.You might consider 190CXPRO4, its more expensive cousin, but I recommend you try it first, because the latter is less stable due to thinner lower section, IMHO.See all 31 customer reviews... »» Read more about Manfrotto 190CXPRO3 3-Section Pro Carbon Fiber Tripod without Head.

Manfrotto 055XPROB Manfrotto 055XPROB Pro Tripod Legs (Black)

How do I get Manfrotto 055XPROB Pro Tripod Legs (Black) The Practical ReviewBy David DarickIsn't it both amazing and quite frustrating that we as consumers must weed through what seems like hundreds of reviews just to gather enough information about a single product that ONE review should be able to produce? After literally reading hundreds of reviews for a camera body, lenses, tripods, etc, I feel like the work and time should go towards saving someone else from the toil of doing the same. First of all, if you're like me, you're out looking for the tripod recommended by Scott Kelby's great, simple book, The Digital Photography Book. He recommends the Bogen 3001BD as the most affordable tripod which is still of good build quality. This recently has become the Bogen Manfrotto 190XPROB which is very, very similar to the 055XPROB. The differences are as follows:055XPROB - can support 15.4 pounds190XPROB - supports 11 pounds055XPROB - leg diameters ... »» Read more about Manfrotto 055XPROB Pro Tripod Legs (Black).
