Hi,

I've recently been reading a book about architectural photography that recommends getting a tripod head with a vice grip for attaching to bannisters etc...

I don't currently have a tripod so am looking into getting a decent one but can't find any details of heads with vice grips.

Can you point me in the direction of somewhere I can find something like this? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Tom

I don't really have a direct answer for you, but perhaps you could stop into Calumet or Jacobs to see about tripods if you haven't already done so..

I tried searching Google really quickly and just came up with this toolkit advice (with nothing about the vice grip tripod, sorry!) but there might be some interesting tip/s here: [knol.google.com]#

Good luck
Tiffany

Thanks Tiffany.

Since posting this I've had a couple of break-throughs but still searching:

Gorilla Grips look like they could do a job (not 100% sure they'd be secure enough though):

[www.amazon.co.uk]

And apparently "clamp" is the word I should have been searching on, but haven't come up with anything yet.

I went to Calumet the other day and found it really weird they don't put a price on anything. The guy I spoke to told me that no-one had asked him for a price in the eight years he'd worked there. Hm.

Thanks again,

Tom
