Re: Astro-Imaging, the incurable disease !
I worked around CAT 5 and 6 systems, but not directly with them. My understanding from follow Electrical Mechanics was you can go up to 1500 feet of wire with CAT 6, maybe with CAT 5. But for us home

Re: Is a Losmandy right for me?
Well, no, few would use a wooden tripod in the Industry now. And they have much more advanced things for damping, including suspensions and rubber tired dollies that are smooth as silk. But, the

Re: Is a Losmandy right for me?
Yes, for AP I¡¯d expect the stiffness of aluminum would be of more benefit. One shouldn¡¯t be messing around with the telescope when the camera¡¯s on, and if it¡¯s windy enough to induce

Re: Is a Losmandy right for me?
hmmm - i have mixed feelings about wood tripods. I'm not against them and they are quite beautiful and portable. on the other hand I'm not sure I think there is a need for dampening? In hollywood

Re: Is a Losmandy right for me?
Many don't know about woods dampening properties. They get blinded by the Wow factor of sleek anodized aluminum, and brushed stainless steel. You will still see a lot of Surveyors using tall wood

I hope you have a better experience with your Bluetooth than I have. My Bluetooth devices seem to get stopped by the walls of my house. Stucco, like 80% of Los Angeles. But WiFi was a bugger, too. The

Re: Is a Losmandy right for me?
Good Morning Sonny, the point on the vibration. dampening properties seems to be the main attribute that no one mentions on reviews on Berlebach tripods, mainly how strong they are. With a side note

Re: Is a Losmandy right for me?
Deric, Wooden tripods have a history in the film industry for their stable vibration deadening properties. I have an old Wooden Legged Tripod dating from the 1940's that is supposed to have been for
