Comment on Gitzo GT1542T and Manfrotto 701HDV Review by Jacob James

Hello Robert,

I can not see any problem with that set-up, however it maybe cheaper for you to purchase the Manfrotto 055 Photo/Video head which is and all in one solution:

If you haven’t seen it before here is a great video of Drew Gardner explaining the head:

Let me know if you have any other questions

Hello Jacob,

Can you add one of these between the gitzo and the 701 to get a leveling bowl? (acratech leveling base)

Comment on Will the Nikon D600 be the ultimate travel camera? Pre-Review by Jacob James

I believe the AF is the same as the two D7000s I have so using the D7000 would not solve your AF issues. I think I am going to try and use one for a weekend and try it out fully.

Year, I am waiting because of this as well.
Dont mind low sync speed, I am more worry about AF.
I came from D3 to D700. Having anything worst AF is a dealbreaker for me.
Maybe I will just buy second hand d7000 as a second body for travel only.

Unfortunately not yet as there are a few issues such as low sync speed and poor AF coverage that concern me at the moment

Hello tomas,

The exposure was around 1/30sec, f4, ISO 12800. The street was VERY dark as you can see in the exposure
