Great shot Humi. Nice sharp stars.

Yes the camera can be a bit tricky to get above a certain angle before it hits the limit of the ballhead.

I rotate the ballhead so the indent is behind where I want angle the camera. That gives a bit more play.

Or I rotate the base around and try again and that sometimes gets extra elevation or I hang the camera upside down and I get any angle that way! It can be a chore to frame the image though! A tiltable LCD would help there. Otherwise its get on the ground and look up at the camera under the tripod. Oh well, whatever it takes to get the shot.

Greg.
