<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 3311480, member: 1765&quot;]It seems fine, but I&#039;m not without reservations.&nbsp; One thing I worry about is the strength of the grip on the mast when there&#039;s a heavy camera mounted to it.&nbsp; You&#039;ll be loosening and tightening it, perhaps frequently, and overtightening or bumping the camera while tightened might lead to it cracking.&nbsp; There seems to be sufficient stand-off from the mast to the camera mount to not get the mast in the image when the camera is high.&nbsp; One thing I&#039;d do differently is use a macro focusing rail rather than a tripod ball head for mounting the camera.&nbsp; Another thing you&#039;ll have to be careful about is gravity.&nbsp; Be sure you have a hand holding the camera when you go to loosen the movable bits to slide the camera up or down, because if you don&#039;t, the camera will crash into the base.&nbsp; I have to deal with this with my upside-down tripod rig, too.&nbsp; With my copy stand, springs hold it in place like an open window sash, so this is not an issue. </p><p><br /></p><p>I do like the cord clips on the bottom of the mast.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
