I have googled some reviews which seemed in favour, but was hoping that some one on here that has got one, can testify to its long term use? as an after thought, the neotec may not have been out that long to warrant long term?
Opinions anyone? |
If you're shooting macro you'd be better off with a Benbo or a Uniloc, (Uniloc is slighly better made than Benbo), they're more versatile and can be adjusted to just about any position you can think of. Great for macro and long lens work, especially in a hide, I use the Uniloc 1600 Major, very solid. It's heavy so not for carrying great distances, although in the past I've lugged it to the top of Ben Hope in Sutherland.
Here's a web link to Uniloc.
