	Re: Tripod for EX3 by Jay Gladwell on Jul 1, 2009 at 9:47:29 pm Does it go up to 7 feet? I think not. Any tripod extending to that height is going to be: Stable = expensive Inexpensive = unstable Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Tripod for EX3 by Noah Kadner on Jul 1, 2009 at 10:36:28 pm Yeah I think 7 feet is a tall order for just about any tripod that's not costing a fortune. Would you consider a 5-6 foot range and a nice apple box instead? Your budget will stretch a lot further. Noah Writing RED: The Ultimate Guide to Using the Revolutionary Camera!.

	Re: Tripod for EX3 by Brent Dunn on Jul 1, 2009 at 11:31:45 pm Where are you filming that you need to go up 7 feet? If you are in a fixed location, why not buy or build a small platform & just use your standard tripod. All you need is probably 3-4 feet, the tripod will handle the rest. I've even used one 2 of those folding ladder systems with a sheet of 3/4" plywwod as a deck. Brent Dunn Creative Director DunnRight Video.com Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Tripod for EX3 by olof ekbergh on Jul 2, 2009 at 2:03:19 pm You may want to consider a small Jib, they are fairly inexpensive and work with most sticks. Not only do they give you added hight, but some really nice movements as well. Just a thought. Olof Ekbergh Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Tripod for EX3 by Noah Kadner on Jul 2, 2009 at 5:07:07 pm Amen to a jib. Tripod shots are great to mix in but if that's your only type of shot in a project, BORING.

	Re: Tripod for EX3 by Craig Seeman on Jul 2, 2009 at 5:13:06 pm BTW the Pocket Dolly is great because it allows dolly moves of up to 3 feet in places and time constraints where you can't lay track. It mounts on the tripod (or two depending on stability need). I run into the same constraints with cranes so I'm looking at the Kessler Pocket Jib as well.
