I purchased a Bogen [Manfrotto] Tripod at a charity sale firstly because it looked really sturdy and secondly, I know very little so thought it'll do.
The tripod is a Bogen Professional 3236 and is fitted with a Manfrotto 3063 fluid head.
Is this tripod just too big to practically use with a camera/bigma? it seemed to look bigger when I got it home [I guess because I can now compare it with my old tripod].
I own a monopod for when I'm strolling but there are a few places where we are still for a while and like setting a tripod up.
What exactly is a fluid head and is it only any good for video camera's?
Lastly should I sell it on and get something else more suitable? bearing in mind this is a wonderfully solid stable platform for your camera [and really heavy
].
Advice appreciated as always
Brian.
