Stupid question: how safe to carry an expensive lens in a trolley? - toni-a - 08-24-2016 Quote:Thanks for the excellent feedback, as usual. As for the stones, fortunately there are no stones on the road, as the road is not gravelled, but asphalted. Since it's a road reserved to hikers, bikers, and a very limited number of authorised vehicles, it's not maintained with the usual standards and there's no smooth asphalt (that would not make me worry), but - especially in some places - is full of irregular"patches".Well what about using a bike and carrying everything on the bike ? that would be much more practical Stupid question: how safe to carry an expensive lens in a trolley? - chrismiller - 08-24-2016 How about one of these instead: http://www.panasonic.com/uk/consumer/cameras-camcorders/lumix-g-lenses/h-rs100400e.html Stupid question: how safe to carry an expensive lens in a trolley? - stoppingdown - 08-24-2016 Quote:Well what about using a bike and carrying everything on the bike ? that would be much more practical :o :o :o :o I can't ride a bike... :o :o :o :o Quote:How about one of these instead: http://www.panasonic.com/uk/consumer/cameras-camcorders/lumix-g-lenses/h-rs100400e.html Honestly, not a bad advice. I can't compare MTF of that lens to the Sigma, but I've read some good review. But I can't afford to maintain two different systems.

Stupid question: how safe to carry an expensive lens in a trolley? - stoppingdown - 08-24-2016 I wrote "bike" in the sense of "bycicle". Everything which has just two wheels... Stupid question: how safe to carry an expensive lens in a trolley? - JJ_SO - 08-24-2016 Ooops. Stupid question: how safe to carry an expensive lens in a trolley? - stoppingdown - 08-26-2016 A few little news. Art Morris just blogged about his experience with some gear, and talked about the Wheeleez. It's a system of trolleys, smaller and larger, which also can be equipped some pneumatic tires. Art uses them on the beaches; I've just asked him whether they are shock-proof for bump on the terrain or roads. Let's see what he replies. The thing looks expensive, though, unless the wheels - which can be separately bought - can be mounted on something cheaper.

It's here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI2KelDN-fQ and follows you without even having to whistle! Stupid question: how safe to carry an expensive lens in a trolley? - stoppingdown - 08-28-2016 Dave, I'm taking this half seriously! I mean, sure I'm not going to buy it, because it would be unfit for rough paths... But I've got a friend who builds robots in his spare time: https://it-it.facebook.com/ninobotweb/ And maybe we can do something with the Wheeleez gears... . |
