Big Telephoto Lens

[1x 1/4"-20 Male] This is a must have for your telephoto lens.

It's big and it's heavy, but it's the best telephoto lens you can have for the full frame K-1. It's worth the price, to get f5.6 on the long end at this price is great; even though the weight is a bit cumbersome the K-1 ibis compensates very well, I've gotten solid results at slower shutter speeds. The results are amazing.

[10 x 8.5 x 0.5"] I wanted a gimbal head to support a big telephoto lens and would work well for vidos. The Gitzo does this very well and I have been using it for most of my still photography as well. The dampening is with grease and one could use a lighter weight grease to get faster movement but this would not be an advanage with video and seldom of real value for still photography. The only con with this head is that it is large and does not break down for travel. For travel I use a Custom Brackets gimbal head which is the best still gimbal available.

[0.125 lb] Well built. Pretty handy, although it would not support a big camera and telephoto lens. Great for things like phone selfies, holding a speedlight, etc.

[1.005 lb] I used it on my last trip to Africa, I is really perfect specially when photographing from the car with a big telephoto.

[Drawstring] Very nice hiking telephoto lens.

[4.63 lb] Great telephoto lens for a good price.

[4] As an amateur photographer having acquired a big, expensive new telephoto zoom lens, I wanted to replace the flimsy $35.00 tripod I bought 40 years ago. The 17 pound rating in the description seemed reassuring and the price seemed good. I have no regrets. It's lightweight, compact,easy to use and I especially like the dual settings for the leg angle that allow for a very stable wide stance. It comes with a composition quick-mount plate that I was able to modify with a Dremel tool to allow putting my camera on the tripod without detaching the carry strap from the camera. Described as blue but it's black. Only the decorations on the upper sections of two of the three legs are blue.

[77 mm] I wanted a 10 stop ND filter and looked first at the Big Stopper but decided to go with the ND 3.0 110 instead. All of my lenses, wide angle, mid range telephoto and long telephoto, all have the same diameter, so this filter made sense. It fits more easily into my bag and was available immediately. The Big Stopper was extremely back ordered.
