Indeed it was not meant to happen - as they say " Came 'orf in me 'and guv , honest !! " .
Somewhat disappointed to say the least , not that old , but old enough to be out of warranty ! Cannot see any way of fixing it and if I could - how long before any of the other legs go ! Mostly used indoors and no rough treatment .
Have to save it for when going up the side of a steep mountain now !
Nikon D70, Nikon 28mm f/2.8 lens, Hoya +1 & +2 close up lenses, Manfrotto 055PROB tripod and focus rack. Some manual fill in flash from Nikon SB-24. Foil windscreen sun protector, two pins and Hama pocket blower to clear wee bugs from the backing paper.
Lens, focussed manually, was stopped down to smallest aperture to give an exposure of around 2.5 seconds for the maximum depth of field. As the natural light wasn't too strong I dug out the reflector and manually triggered the flash gun midway through the exposure for some fill light.
The Manfrotto 055PROB and the Chinese made focus rack really helped with this shot.
The pins were to hold the stem of the bisected mushrooms off the paper so they would lay flat to the page and not give harsh shadows. The windscreen sun propector makes a great reflector and I really should sort out a dedicated area for this sort of work (though with the amount of bugs crawling out of the fungi it was handy I was outside).

This is the end result.
Photograph taken in the golden hour around sunrise at 08:00am on Tuesday 1st January 2013 opposite Adventure Island Theme Park and the Western Esplanade, beneath the old pier on the muddy shoreline of Southend on Sea, Essex, England.
Southend is always challenging thanks to the low tide mud which inhibits movement and has your tripod sinking in at a jaunty angle as you try to set up and shoot as quickly as possible. Here, I stood beneath the old pier, mud up to my welly boot tops, water dripping on my head from above like some form of psychological torture, and my kit trying to topple over to the right as the gloopy mud did it's best to beat me.....

Week 39: Tools
These are my main photo tools I've been using for this 52 week project. The camera is a Nikon D100 I bought new in December 2002. This thing is built like a tank. It's survived tripod tips, mountain biking crashes, and all the accumulated bumps and bruises of nearly ten years of shooting. Over 20,600 photos later and it still works perfectly. The lens I'm using here is a Nikkor 60mm f2.8 macro. Sharp, reasonably fast and a good lens for both food and portraits.
Lighting: Lit as you see in the photo with the addition of reflectors just out of frame on both sides.
Mounting this rig on the manfrotto tripod was painful. I had to use an off shoe flash cable, angle eye piece, remote trigger, Flash angle bracket and some sweat and tears. The Bellows shape does not allow it to be directly mounted on the tripod and the Flash bracket was mounted backwards to accommodate this.
The flash is taken off and held close to the subject when taking the photo. The bracket is just to temporarily hold the flash and the camera to the tripod whilst composing the shot.
I have a Gary Fong CloudSphere diffuser. After looking into macro photography I saw online how to make your own Coke can diffuser (By Lord V) that works well for Macro Photography. I am using it with a 150 mm Bellows, Canon EX550, Canon 30D ISO 200 and shutter speed 200, Flash set to ettl. I am still playing however it seems to work well. I still need a real Macro lens however my experimentation has been fun.
Here's the Lord V thread.

A friend gave me this nice Manfrotto Professional 079B monopod he inherited of his late grandfather. It came with a nice addon: a wooden walking stick knob. Cool :)
As far as I know the Manfrotto 679B is it's successor.
Great support of Manfrotto: all parts can still be ordered: www.manfrottospares.com/079b-parts.html

"The Evolution of my D200 / Manfrotto 486RC/190 Tripod Setup:
1) I bought my Nikon D200 as an upgrade for my Nikon D70. To protect my investment while on a trip to Costa Rica, I purchased a Kata Rain Cover. I quickly found to fundamental flaws in the design of the cover. 1) You could not put a strap on the camera without the rain running down the strap to the camera itself. 2) If you chose to simply carry the camera with your hand in the cover, condensation would build up inside the camera leaving the cover foggy, and the camera moist.
2) My next step was to build a frame that I could put the camera on, have a strap, and still keep it free from rain. This worked perfectly. I then found that if I wanted to take a picture using my tripod, I would have to take the camera off the frame and put a plate on. I chose to get a Manfrotto 3299 Quick Change Adapter, and mount it onto the frame. The plate goes on the bottom, to secure the frame onto the tripod, and, the quick release goes on the top, to secure the camera. Now I was able to quickly place the camera on the frame, as well as place the frame onto my 190 without having to worry about screws.
3) I kept the original strap on the camera while it is on this setup because 1) it was difficult to take off and put on. I could disassemble the rain gear in less than a minute, So, to have it ready to go, at all times, I just leave it on.
4) I did, however, add two Velcro straps to the frame for securing the straps. 2) This also doubles as a safety strap should the camera fall.
5) I did find that in some cases, rain would get on my lens. I added a T-section to my camera frame and was able to find an umbrella with the same threads.
6) My next challenge was the flash. Taking macro shots in the rain required extension tubes that required lots of light. That was something that was always lacking when it rained in the bush. My Nikon SB-800 is not waterproof, nor is the internal flash strong enough for most macro applications I had. I added a flash holder made from left over PVC pipe, which neatly screws into the T-section on my frame in place of the umbrella. A Ziplock bag completed the flash rain-proofing. The SB-800 is connected with an SC-29 cable, to my D200.
7) Taking pictures at night, in the dark, had a few near misses. I found that it was difficult to see my camera / tripod in the dark. Reflective tape on the legs of the tripod remedied this. Since I always carry a small flashlight, this worked out perfectly
8) During the winter, a tripod can get very cold. With bare moist hands tending to stick to the cold exposed metal of the tripod, I added pipe insulation to the top part of the legs on the tripod. This made the tripod much easier to carry in the winter with no gloves on, and, gave it a better, more secure grip.
9) Spring in British Columbia brings with it the re-emergence of bears, after their winter hibernation. While concentrating on my subject matter, I was left vulnerable to bears. Although I carried Bear Spray (a pepper based substance that can be sprayed as far as 8 meters) it was much more convenient to have it mounted on one of the tripod legs using a Velcro strap, that also doubles as a strap for keeping the legs together while transporting through the bushes.
10) I also found that the inside of the center of the tripod made an excellent place to store my extra bear bangers and a first aid kit (bandaids and ointment).
11) When I have to switch lenses or remove or replace my flash more than once, cases are fastened to the legs of the tripod, making them easily accessible.
12) My remote, instead of dangling all over is neatly velcroed to one of the legs.
13) Fom time to time, I also place a double ended clamp with a diffuser plate, on the setup to either place my GPS or take notes on the surroundings.
I can’t see this being the end of the evolution for my setup. It has endless possibilities."

My Manfrotto 3030 and 3021 tripod and head came today from ebay. My first real pro tripod, I shouid've bit the bullet many years ago. They are fantastic and look like new too, even if they are "old", I'm so happy with them!!
Maximum load with Combi Boom at max extension is said to be 2 kg, so it should be enough for light flash (like Quadra, AcuteB or Pro-7B/Pro-B head) and standard reflector. During last studio shoot I wanted to test can it hold the advertised 2 kg.
Pro-7B head with beauty dish with counterweight (comes with stand) worked ok. I wouldn't put much more weight for this boom, so Avenger boom & other sturdier booms are still recommended for bigger and heavier light modifiers. Nice stand and for speedlight use the boom should work with even small softboxes (Ezy & clones as examples).
When I was a young boy I tried to listen
And I wanna feel like that
Little white shadows - blink and miss them
Part of a system I am
If you ever feel like something's missing
Things you never understand
Little white shadows sparkle and glisten
Part of a system plan
All this noise I'm waking up
All this space I'm taking up
All this sound is breaking up
Wooaaooh
Maybe you'll get what you wanted
Maybe you'll stumble upon it
Everything you ever wanted
In a permanent state
Maybe you'll know when you see it
Maybe if you say it you'll mean it
And when you find it you'll keep it
In a permanent state, a permanent state
When I was a young boy I tried to listen
Don't you wanna feel like that?
You're part of the human race
All of the stars in the outer space
Part of a system plan
All this noise I'm waking up
All this space I'm taking up
I cannot hear you're breaking up
Woaaooh.
Maybe you'll get what you wanted
Maybe you'll stumble upon it
Everything you ever wanted
In a permanent state
Maybe you'll know when you see it
Maybe if you say it you'll mean it
And when you find it you'll keep it
In a permanent state, a permanent state
Swimmin' on a sea of faces
Tired of the human race
An answer now is what I need
See it in the new sun risin
See it break on your horizon, oh
Come on love stay with me

The Manfrotto ProLight Redbee photo backpack in action with my Pentax K-1 and SMC Pentax-D FA 150-450mm DC AW lens and a Manfrotto 055 XPRO3 tripod with three way head. Photo for the Manfrotto Brand Champion training day at Richmond Park.
This device, once aligned with the celestial north pole (not exactly at Polaris), automatically rotates at the same rate as the Earth, so stars will stay in the same relative location to the camera.
It is mounted on a Manfrotto 410 Geared Head, so that by just twisting a couple knobs, the head can be precisely aligned. It will hold its alignment without slipping.
The camera sits on a Manfrotto 496-RC2 Ball Head, which rotates with the AstroTrac so that no matter where the camera is pointed, the stars should remain stationary in frame.
Tripod hook useful to lower its centre of mass. A feature on most high-end tripods I easily added to my Manfrotto. I removed the rubber cap at the end of the center column and added a nut and a bolt with washers and some heat shrink tube to act as a sort of rubber cushion. In this way nut and bolt can be easily undone for column reversing otherwise being well in place.
Pix taken with my little point and shoot Nikon S4. Auto everything.
Y'all know that I like Sunrises. I also like long exposures. Those two reasons alone mean tripod. Good tripod. I guess I am like a lot of other amateurs. I bought a cheap tripod to start with. Well, that was something I was able to change, so say Hello to my new tripod. Nope, I did not get carried away (pun intended) and buy a Gitzo carbon legs and 20 function ball head for a thousand smackers, but I did get what I hope will be a great deal on $300 Manfrotto. Legs are O55xPROB with a 496RC2 ball head.
What do y'all think, should I haven't have cheaped out and bought the Gitzo, or did I done did good and with the savings you expect a donation?
Now if I could change and sleep in some mornings and not pester y'all with these pix ;-)
Have y'all seen Drew Litton?
Ich war mit Manfrotto in Venedig u.a. fotografieren am roten Teppich der internationalen Filmfestspiele.
