[Re: Dr. Megabyte]       #3434263 - 11/07/09 08:29 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Should work fine. I've used the SVP extension on a CG-5 tripod with no problems connecting. They typically go for about $100 used. -------------------- Jim Genesis SDF-f/5.4 FS-102-f/8 Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 10 registered and 15 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
