Only gripe so far is the tripod that was recommended and advertised along side the SA GTi by Bintel. A Benro Mach 3.
It's a camera/general purpose tripod and does not allow the mount to be aligned with one of the legs.
So where l would normally place my tripod on the marks on my pavers and have the South leg line up with SCP, l have had to put more marks on the pavers and the whole set up just looks asquew, to my eyes anyway. It is possible to shave off a small plastic tab on an insert that stops the tripod head rotating, but that could allow the insert to fall out, however unlikely that is.
The thread in the bottom of the mount, being aluminium cast, is not the strongest so be carefully not to overtighten the mount on to any tripod.
