Today I just very unable to understand for Giottos tripod I purchase it last month and I think theres nothing wrong with it until last 2 week when I was doing video shooting using DSLR and try to do low angle shots. The shoppers said to me that it have 2 pole socket : 1 is the normal pole socket like all the brands have and the other one is the very short pole socket which can do very low angle shot. So I try to do low angle shot by using the socket.
During that time when I tried to take out the pan-head up and change the screw driver to the secondary pole socket (the short one), the screw stuck on the pan-head at first and then I dunno how to take it out so I decided to screw in the second pole socket just like normal and then it stucked and cannot be removed using whatever kind of tools.
After that I went for sellers and even distributor and then they said I should put the plate first from the first pole socket before I can put on the second (short) pole socket and theres no warranty to claim and they will not even help me remove the screw for this things. The boss blame is my fault to put it like this but strangely when I ask the shoppers to use the new one to do the same as I do it can easily unscrew it where's my cannot.
I dunno is my problem? They dun even have the replacement accessories for this and keep telling me go for any mechanical shop to chop the thing out and try my luck to find the stupid screw driver.
Now I waste my RM4xx ringgit for this tripod ... I regret using the stupid low angle thingy.
let this be a lesson learnt..
when things dont fit, dont force it...

Sadly I didn't force it ... I think that model have some minor problem of the screw that cause this disaster because I ask the shopper to demostrate with new units and it can screw up easily .... = =
and its shopkeeper.. YOU are the shopper...
one more, its screw in... screw up = to make things worse

destful, IMO, apart from shapes (if can call them shapes), its quite hard to discern what's what from the photo... the color cast is too heavy. i like the shot with the clouds though.

More to come when I have finished uploading them.
lwliam: The plate behind spoils the shot.
yeah i noticed that too when editting just now.. too big to properly clone it out... so i just left it... but the meat is soooo yummmy, i wanna bite into it now..
but then again, i look at it overall now, it could be the meat are on the centre table, ready to be served to the guests..
p/s: wow, the motor buzzing sound is really loud.. definitely not usable for proper video taking.. i soooo ROFLed at the 30mm Macro when it BUZZZZEDDDD
