I did... a China clone. It's a mess to set up, and really fiddly. But if you *can* set it up and find something good to mount it to, it works quite well. Be sure you get the one with the ballhead (which I think the SLR zoom model is).

Price... its kinda exp for the ori one. Check the ylcamera site or shahinki. They usually have good baseline (read: MRSP) prices to start with. Not sure if the China one has a version with ballhead but its prolly not gonna be worth it.

For myself, I changed to a Hakuba sandbag thingy for support. Even smaller to store and very, very fast to set up. I do lose the extreme angle ability of the gopod though.

did u get any nightshots? the street is very beautiful at night, especially near the casino area

didn't walk to the casino ): Was on a short trip without any info on what was nice there!

But man the city is like hipster central!

Awww... no tram shots? I miss the Melbourne trams.

Nice sets nonetheless. I loved the first shot as well, lotsa feels with that one.

share some photo when u free

yeaaa.... hipster everywhere! and those banner doing anti this anti that.... i was there to shoot at night, got disturb by many drunk ppl (but they are friendly drunks...) like, shouting "take picture of me! take picture of me!!!!", some even pose funny pose to let me shot.

here is one shot seriously u just miss the best nice scenery...

Hi guys,

any one have successfully purchased the time lapse app from playmemories?

argh I walked all the way to the Yarra river at night because I thought I could get a shot like that but to no avail ): didn't have tripod anyway though!

nice shot!

Thanks! I didn't shoot much of the trams because the ones that I saw were pretty modern looking and didn't look special to me. There was this ONE tram that still looked really vintage, but I had no idea how I could catch it since it just went past me

Nice photos bro! Any tips if travel to Melbourne?

Sry bos.. Out of town.. If only reply sooner, maybe i book from u first.. Huhuhu... All in all, gluk with yr sale!

Should ask @edpaul! I had to go on short notice so I didn't plan for anything at all.

But I would tell you to do the following if you're there:
1)Head to Bourke street: Lot's of buskers and street performers there and the trams pass by there quite frequently
2)Cafe hop: It's like hipster central there, so many hipster cafes, if you like taking pictures of cafes and coffee, melbourne is the city for you
3)Shrine of remembrance: Awesome place that sends chills down your spine. The story is that if you visit it at a particular time, you'll be able to see a rare phenomena where the light entering from the top of the building will shine on a stone tablet inside the shrine. Also, you can head to the second floor to get a good view of the city.

There are also alleyways in the city (Forgot the name ) that have lots of graffiti art!


What I liked about photographing melbourne is actually the architecture. I liked how it had a blend of old victorian like buildings and modern styled ones too.
