Dörr A3, Dörr HB - 36

Ok so i went and picked up some gear yesterday and i think for the low price i got the best gear avalible.

This is my review of the Dörr A3 tripod with Dörr HB-36 Ballhead.


First of The Tripod. Its great Sturdy like a 400 $ tripod. with all the features of a much more expensive one. It can easily handle equipment up to 5 kg. and maximum height is 157 cm.
Then how low can it go ? You can push it all the way down in a split. so with the head your camera will be about 15 cm above ground. You can also invert the centerpole for even closer shots.
What about grip ? First the rubber feet of the tripod has a great basic grip. But then if your in really harsh conditions you can screw the feet up to expose spiked grips under them. Really great. Highly recommended. Its priced at about 100 $ in sweden.

Now to the ballhead.
Its a fully panoramic ballhead made from magnesium alloy i think. And this really suprised me in a good way.. basicly go for this rather then buying a gitzo. No matter if your a pro or amateur. Just go for it. Really good quickplate thats holds your camera tight. and the ball goes 360 degrees so you can shoot any direction anytime. The wheels sets the stability of the ball in different directions. and they can really hold it tight. No problems with my nikon d2x and 200 mm optics + flash. I highly recommend both theese products.
They get a 5 out of 5 possible.
