Going I-25 to I-80 will be boring after Denver. But oh what a drive to Denver.
You can ship or receive FedEx at almost any Walgreens. No need to sit at home. Go into tracking and Manage Delivery. You can do it as Guest. I no longer sit home and wait. I also use Amazon Locker and UPS pick-up points. Also eliminates threat of theft. Nothing comes to my house.
I route all FedEx packages fom B&H and elsewhere to my local Walgreens.
Just got mine as well. Love it.
Screw on clamp and two dovetails and you're done - $230. Not cost prohibitive
I use the dovetail on both the gimbal and the ballhead and attach them via a leveling base with a RRS levered clamp screwed onto it. Works quite well. Acratech makes a leveling base that has an integrated arca-swiss clamp. Total cost of this setup would be about $350 (Base and two dovetails). Or you could forego the leveling base and screw a clamp onto your tripod.
Why spend money unnecessarily when I can post here and get responses from the experienced? That is why the forum is here, SA.
Quality of goods received,perhaps?
I have had good luck with used lenses from B&H. Anyone have experience with both for comparison?
Try the Ruggard brand at B&H.
I also bought a DSLRKIT brand battery cover for $11 at Amazon. Nobody has the BL-5 in stock. I do have the Nikon battery and grip tho.
I have one. Works as advertised. At less than a third of the price.
