Darn, finally a question is asked on this site that I can answer and John beat me to it! [:(]

Oh well, better luck next time.[;)]


John.

Lovely! I just went to my local photography shop a while ago and saw some Induro heads. I might get one if my Manfrotto 488RC2 gets a bit older or something [:P]

A bit OT, but can those snoots used by strobists be used as a beamer?

Thanks! It does seem to be working out pretty good for me . But since I've never used another, I don't know how it compares. Maybe that's a good thing!

Probably not. They're meant for use in bird photography and probably wouldn't give the desired strobist effect. Ask Sean to be sure, though.

I tried an Induro BHD-3 ballhead (top-of-the-line) and my impressions were that it was sturdy, very heavy, and priced OK. Nothing wrong with it at all, it worked fine for me, I don't know how long it lasts, though. Induro uses a closed-ball design, which is extremely hard to clean. I personally am a fan of the open ball design, but it's not too big of a deal. The BHD-3 was better than I thought it would be. Just very heavy, it's 2 pounds!
