I was actually thinking of using my old 35mm cameras and experiment. I still have my Canon AE-1 and a Yashica Minister D.

Most excellent tripod. Not even slight bending even at full length even with a full load on the head with over 40km wind gust (D300/D10/f2.8 70-200mm) <<<Some serious weight.

Speaking of a ball/head, make sure you pay the money for a good one with over 25-50lbs of load. It'll cost you from around $250-450 for a most excellent one.

Swing over to Adorama and B&H and read the reviews. Don't do like I did and skimp on my first ball/head/plate. lol Pay the coinage and you will not be disappointed.

I got this one. I can raise it up to 57":

Surprisingly, I love this beast but it's nothing I'd want dangling off my neck on a motorcycle ride.
