Sir, I don't have extra moolah.

1400 shutter count, that's really a good deal.
Enjoy it, I thought of buying x100s before finally decided on X-T1.

Erm, I will have a trip to Yunnan next month and for 18 days. Can't wait!

Since only both of us will be travelling, so if we were to take shots together, gotta use a tripod right? How do you guys carry your tripod when go for vacation? Ever since I changed to Fujifilm system, my bags are so small that they can't fit a tripod.

I actually bought a small little selfie stick that comes with three legs but the drawback is it can only be extended to 80cm. We are 165cm and 172cm tall respectively, 80cm doesn't seem to make a lot of justice in this case. Or is it sufficient?

I also have a Joby Gorillapod, will this help?

Yunnan is at low latitude with high pressure flow, so I just want to minimize bringing too many heavy stuff and it will be a burden for me. I won't be able to breathe properly already especially when I'm in Shangri-La, so try to be careful in my selections.

The thing is the selfie stick is with my friend now because she bought for me and will bring it straight to the trip.
We are from different country...

Yes, I know. This one is not too bad but I will try first before putting on it. That's why in dilemma should I bring my CF tripod or not...
The selfie stick looks like this:

Actually selfie is not a problem, it's just a proper group shots problem now.
What do you guys think of monopod with extendable legs? Checking for options now and just really want to avoid my tripod. My model is not portable and with ballhead attached not gonna be light. Unless I give up ballhead this time.

Wah, yours is shorter than mine.

OK la, worse comes to worst we take with our mobile phone, iPhone 6 and LG V10, not too bad actually.

OK, got it. I will pandai2 use it when I'm there.

I'm thinking if the so-called selfie stick is extendable to 80cm, if I were to equip with 18mm, I wonder how far should we stand if we were to have a full body shots.

Need to find time to try it. Else, I will ask my friend to return back. I will just have to bring my CF tripod then.

Yes, I plan to do it in the office tomorrow.
I measured and 80cm is just too short...

It seems like you guys have a money tree planted in your garden. Why can buy things so easily one?

Yeah, I'm using it this way. I added the grid lines to help me too.

My final decision is I will bring my CF tripod along with me to my Yunnan trip.
I don't want to miss any moment as the sceneries are just too beautiful.

I plan to take milky way shots too if I manage to figure it out how to take.

The place is kinda famous for shooting stars.

Some other people's shots:



Those photos I shared are not really Milky Way right?

Anyway, if I can tahan the coldness at night. God bless me.

Yeah, so bringing my tripod is a yes right?
Even if I don't get to shoot stars, I hope I still can shoot scenery like these.

Haha. I'm not those feminine type.
My bag is just like you guys' one.

For someone who owns a Fastpack 350.

Anyway, I have a Passport Sling now.

Yeah, used it during my Canon 5D's days. Can store plenty of stuff and L lenses were nicely arranged in the bag.
Now just collect dust...

I have problem with my tripod, any idea guys? After folded is around 60cm, how to keep?

I don't have a bigger backpack now except for Fastpack350.
I maybe will just bring it with its own bag.

Try Ozzy a.k.a. Mr. Oss, his pricing is rather competitive.
Others can testify too.
