In Reply to: tripod mount for graphic view II posted by David on February 24, 2001 at 00:49:19:When it comes to tripods for a 4x5 bigger is better. I have had
a Quick Set High Boy IV for 30 years and it still works great. I
recently purchased on Ebay a Quick Set Sampson with dolly wheels
for use in my home studio. What ever the brand you need a sturdy
unit, to minimize camera shake. Yes, with the Graphic View you
could get by with a simple tripod, not having a head but, will mean
you have to adjust the legs to get the camera level (this can be a
pain in the neck!).
I prefer having the 3way head to be able to tip the tripod
sideways, this helps level the horrizon, when on uneven ground and
is easier to setup.
