Bogen Manfrotto Column Clamp 3424 w/ Free UPS

Is there a UK equivalent?
Hi Madelinew

Have a look here:
Green Witch Tripods and Clamps

They sell an Opticron lightweight hide clamp (Need to check it will cope with the Kg's of your scope) & Also a clamp to fit the centre pole of some of thier tripods - but will it fit yours?

I found these when looking at Travelscopes - trying to resist temptation!
Would really like a big scope but dont like the thought of carrying 4-5 Kg of scope + tripod as well as the camera refreshments etc.

Enjoy your watching


Bill
