If I think I will need a better tripod the Slik goes in as well - it all fits in a Crumpler Wonder Weenie and I still have enough space for a spare fleece and my lunch!Grant Herberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02449454578357985207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7419727380035575565.post-3540303958667498822008-04-26T20:58:00.000-05:002008-04-26T20:58:00.000-05:00Given the low weight of the G9, you could add a de...Given the low weight of the G9, you could add a decent full-size lightweight tripod like the National Geographic NGTT1 trripod (made for them by Manfrotto):<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://shop.nationalgeographic.com/product/178/3568/122.html" REL="nofollow">NGTT1</A><BR/><BR/>Obviously, it won't fit in the bag. You can stick the smallest Kirk QR clamp (QRC1)<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.kirkphoto.com/platforms.html" REL="nofollow">QRC1</A><BR/><BR/>on top of the bizarre QR plate on the ballhead and add either the Kirk L-bracket or the Really Right Stuff (preferred) L-bracket to the camera:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.kirkphoto.com/lbracketsc.html" REL="nofollow">Kirk</A><BR/><A HREF="http://reallyrightstuff.com/rrs/items.asp?Cc=BodyCanonG9&iTpStatus=0&Tp=&Bc=" REL="nofollow">RRS</A><BR/><BR/>Personally, I removed the plastic ballhead from the tripod and (with a little bit of machining) added a cheap Chinese-made aluminium ballhead that takes Arca-Swiss QR plates (e.g. the above-mentioned L-brackets).<BR/><BR/>The tripod won't fit in the bag, but it's small enough and light enough to carry with an Op/Tech strap (I also have an Op/Tech wrist strap on the G9).<BR/><BR/>My kit also has the Canon wide- and tele-converter lenses fitted to lensmate adaptors (and I keep an empty Lensmate adaptor on the body at all times, anyway). The whole shooting match (with various filters, macro-converters, etc., but not the tripod) fits into a 3 litre Crumpler bag, and weighs next-to-nothing when it's on the shoulder (as opposed to my DSLR kit).<BR/><BR/>Alunajcarrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17703548381773570077noreply@blogger.com
