[Konvas] Adam YOU NEED 2 TRIPOD

>>On the other hand, an Oconnor 100mm standard bowl will NOT accept
>>the McAlister or Mitchell 100mm heads.? It gets to be bizarre.



I've seen that too.... yet another reason we generally pair heads with the sticks they were actually made for.

Adam, you can do a "trial and error" measurement without too much trouble...? take a piece of heavy paper, card stock, or poster paper and cut out several cicles of the most common head diameters: 80mm, 100mm, 120mm, 150mm, etc.?? Then hold these up vertically in the bowls and see which one seems to fit best at the edges and bottom.?? But... as HW says, you may find that some manuafcturer's 100mm bowl is actually not exactly quite like that.? That's one reason I ended up calling the tech guys at Oconnor, I was having a devil of a time figuring out the bowl size.? After they told me it was a 120mm, my "paper circles" test showed that it was not a TRUE 120mm sphere, I think it was actually a little bigger, if I recall.? I guess it was THEIR version of 120mm.
