How much will you pay for a brand?

Just noticed this in Warehouse Express' regular email and couldn't believe the price. Amazon are nearly as bad here. Isn't that the same as this and this but without the Manfrotto brand name? Amateur Photographer magazine were giving these things away on the cover of the mag a couple of years ago

Seen that and thought they had put a 9 on the end by mistake.


However if you're doing big landscapes it's better to make sure it's completely level.

Or you can use the 'rotate' function in PS etc. I often find that the horizon isn't level anyway, though the sea is quite reliable I guess.

ETA: £25!!! The trouble with hobbies is that people want to spend their money.

Blimey.

And it's only as accurate as the hotshoe it's mounted on.

Ah, yes sir, that'll be another £30 for our Manfrotto hotshoe calibration device (or £5 for this identical unbranded one)
