    Negative.
    Gitzo 1500 and Mongoose 3.5A.

    Hand holding is only a fad, just ask my Best of Florida Workshop partner Jim Neiger:D.

    Pretty amazing there Cappy! I've tried this with my 400 + 1.4 and never got anything good! Talk about flighty!!

    James, this is awesome! I love the detail in the head and the fact that there is just enough wing detail to show both structure and motion I am in awe!!
