Thanks Phil. Yep, despite the great kit, there is not alot I could do about the weather. My next planned travel for a TSE will likely be in 2016 (Totals look a little too brief priot to that) using the same mountng hardware. I really liked travelling without counterweights !
Given Canon's DSLR upgrade cycle, I will likely have a different camera body then....also tempeted to run with a Baby FSQ.
