I consider myself a modest gear head. When I decide to buy something I’ve usually thought about it for a long time. Because I started my recent adventure into digital photography with the G11, most of the accessory gear I’ve bought is super light weight and really only suitable for point and shoot sized cameras. I got my T2i in August 2010. Since then I’ve bought a few lenses for it, but kept putting off buying a tripod. After nearly a year of handheld shots, I felt the need for a good support system for a larger camera. I decided on a Gitzo GT2531 with Markins Q10. Been playing… NICE!
