1000D Ball & Socket Head


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I've been impressed with some of the wide field results achievable with a piggybacked 1000d (unmodified) using the stock 18-55mm lens and was thinking of giving it a go.

My EQ5 tube rings have a threaded bolt for connecting a DSLR but I find it fiddly to use (my fingers are too fat :)). Can anyone recommend a ball & socket head that would allow me to piggyback my 1000d to my tube rings. I plan to keep the scope & QHY5 connected to that I can guide using PHD.

Thanks

I have a Manfrotto MN496 that I picked up S/H from ffordes.com - brilliant bit of kit :) Doesn't have the QR but the anti slip / friction clutch (so it doesn't all fall over when you release it) is excellent.
