Yeah, I wouldn't trust a mahagony and brass 8x10 on this head, but the legs are more than stable enough! That ball head I bought for Daniels tripod had something like a 40# rating and 100# grip force with a 36mm ball joint. Btw, Daniel, how's that thing holding up? You should try some long exposure stuff of the stars with it if you haven't yet.
Daniel, the main difference between this one and yours is this has all metal bushings in the locking collars on the legs, your has plastic (not really a bad thing, just cheaper to make), this has all metal knobs and this is the original head for it, the head that came on yours was some funky video head (some replaced it at some time), I still have it and might try to fix it, but the ball head is quite nice for as simple as it is.
Mmm, beer! Have you ever used rock candy for the sugar in your Belgian beers? Its one distinct flavor I do enjoy about them. Business plan for the hunters...just send them all to me and I will send you money constantly for a long time!

The tripod is great! I do need some long exposure pics, good idea. I should go to Durango and get a long exposure of town at night, the cars should be cool.
Belgian Candy Sugar - fo sho! I have 7 beers kegged that I made and my Belgian Golden Strong Ale is my favorite. I like that heat and funky flavor the sugar brings.

Off the wall hops and Caramunich... came out outstanding!
I'll send you all of those Hunters then!
Damn Xander, great find. Whiskey.....I go with Knob Creek.
I've got to try that. The George Dickel No.12 is a good one... we have some good local Whiskey too.
Bulleit is my standard, Wild Turkey is my fall back, and George Dickel #12 is my exceptional.
Although, tonight the liver has been determind evil and found deserving of punishment. Been a looooong time since I have been out of rum in the house. Nothing like getting jrunk wit the wife on a sundy night! Watching the grammy's, drinking cuba libré's (aka rat poison acc. to Kermmak) and talkin sh!t on all the music we think is fake. Good times!

Bulleit is another I want to try, I just had their straight rye a few weeks back and it was killer!
Right now... coffee! dark and smokey locally roasted and pretty cheap too!
You've gotta have...
a good woman
good knives
good whiskey
good coffee
good music
good food!
Rolf you can substitute Red G10 and Tantos for the liquor! Probably a good call.
I hope you guys have the women, food and drinks... I'll work on the knives and here's the music!
I just watched a movie about Levon Helm... what a talented guy! In college we rocked this every morning on the way to class.
