RTC360 Leica Tripod VS Benro Mach3

Post by ericguizzetti »

If you were purchasing an RTC360 would you prefer the $1500 Leica tripod designed for the RTC360 or a $400 alternative?

Is this the GItzo 'flat foot' item you mentioned?

They aren't making any 5/8"-2-RTC adapters yet are they?
Machinists? 3D printer owners?

Gitzo GT3543LS - seems to be what the Leica branded actually is, and at less than 700 dollars, a great deal.

I have one that I use for photography and it's super nice. the clamps are quick and lock with minimal effort and no slide.
