Awww, heck. I promised to post photos of my set-up and then forgot. I am very sorry!!! I WILL do it this week.
I have a Bogen/Manfrotto 3021BPRO tripod (on Amazon.com
here) It has a slot where you can mount the post horizontally, if you want to. As I said, that works best with my photo cube.
And I have a Gitzo ball head on it. The Gitzo is
here on Amazon.
Be Aware!!! There is no need whatsoever to get so carried away with the ball head! (I just adore Gitzo and the "feel" of their stuff. So seductive. But their tripods weigh a ton and a half, so I just use their tripod heads.)
But any ball-type head will suit you just fine. A ball head is far, far easier to adjust then any other type. Bogen makes ball heads for that tripod. Just go to Amazon.com and put bogen ball head (those three words) in the search box. The cheapest usable one is like thirty five dollars and then they go up from there.
I will try my hardest to get pix of my setup this week! Sorry!!!
