Photography junkies come in

I'm planning on getting a Bogen/Manfrotto 2900 Super Clamp with Standard Stud and a Giottos MH-1004 Mini Ballhead.

Before I put in the order, can someone verify for me that this combo will work?

I was actually considering the ClamperPod but it looks like the original ClamperPod only takes flat surfaces, while ClamperPod 2 only clamps on tubular surfaces. The Super Clamp works on both, plus it's backed by a good brand.

Just making sure if I'm making the right choices. Thanks!

Not sure if it'll work, but that looks ridiculously expensive for a clamp.

I know that I'm mostly paying for the brand.. but then there isn't much of a choice out there.

I'm sure you can mod a clamp from home depot or something. Adapt a metal rod to it so that the ball head can mount on.

Amvona on ebay makes quality products for cheap. I'd check them out

They have the clamp for less than $10.

What's wrong with a tripod?

BTW - it'll probably work. I bought a couple of those ballheads and those things are pretty sturdy little guys. I was using it for a flash unit though...not sure what camera you're using.

Mainly because a tripod is too bulky. I have a Canon G5.. but my main concern is if the ballhead will mate to the clamp with the stud thingy.

As for the price, it's not really a big concern since it's only like $10-$20 more than a ghetto setup. I think it's well justified.

I think it's a question better answered over at dpreview forums. I use a tripod, so I can't help ya (but I definitely hear ya on the bulk annoyance).
