Are you on Earth?

The Feisol 3342 isn't available via Amazon Prime so it's out (I have a substantial gift card balance with Amazon that I would like to use). After reading some reviews, I ended up springing for the Induro CT213 and an Arcatech Ultimate Ballhead. Total carrying weight should come out to 4.5 lbs I think which is manageable. I don't see serious hikes or excursions like yours, Peter, any time in the near future so weight is not as big a concern for me but I didn't want anything so heavy that it just spent all its time in my apartment. The Gitzo gear while being reviewed better and carrying a lifetime warranty, was a bit too much to spend. I shall see if the whole thing is stable enough with the D800 and the two lenses I have. If so it stays. If not, I can easily ship it back to Amazon and spring for the Gitzo.

The Spanish newspaper El País is offering a coupon code for 48 hours free access to the Berliner Philharmoniker's Digital Concert Hall. Said code is ELPAISFR7X.

RMAF lifetime highlight: Naaman lifting Val Kolton's phone long enough to text Paris Hilton. What he said I don't know, but Val did move to Italy recently. Happy birfday, big boy!
