The light box is a great tool. I don't use it a lot, but now and then it gives me just what I want.

And yes, the tripod is a Benro. My receipt says "Benro Tortoise Columnless Carbon Fiber 2 Series Tripod w/ GX30 Ball Head."

Nice and light, with so many things to manipulate that I'm still learning it!

It wasn't cheap. Paul's Photo in Torrance sold it to me; it cost $400. That included the tax.
