Does anyone have recommendations on where to buy the Mefoto tripods?

Cheers for that!

Hi All, I have heard vineting being mentioned and it's a concept I have heard of but never really understood. I am trying to find examples of what it looks like or what it is but I am having troubles finding any information. Can anyone help? Cheers Paul

Thanks for all the input. I walked into LCE in Manchester today and nearly walked out considerably lighter. Just need to get this past SWMBO....

What a strange coincidence. :)

This is disappointing, the person responsible for the security for this school should have been put in a room with this child, the child commended for being able to bypass the security and learn from how he got out. Lessons learnt are far more effective than penalising these people. I have...

Hi,I am also looking at a new firewall with UTM. The options I have looked at are Cisco, Fortigate, Juniper and palo alto. I am still researching but those names maybe of some use. I have also recently bought a synology NAS which has an inbuilt firewall. I haven't used this yet but if you are...

Hi, Short answer is no, however it's really easy in my opinion. There are videos on their website showing most of the functionality if you want to look. But I had my wife set my synology unit up without instruction and she did it. Have a flick around see what is available personally I...
