Had me some competitors ordered for a trip to Spitsbergen and decided at the end of this combination. Should be photographed there polar bears, whales, seals, birds and of course the spectacular scenery. Relatively light and very compact for the suitcase. Velbon PH368 dismounted swivel head for D600 / 700 and at your destination turn again. Ideal from a boat or hiking on the shoulder with fixed camera. Animals or a particular cloud formation do not wait until everything is built. Camera shake by the constant vibration of the ship I could not find amazingly. Pentax K3 with heavy telephoto zoom and battery handle almost three kilos. Although the supplied QHD-63D head makes a solid impression, but with moving subjects a swivel head is practical. After my trip, I can now say this was the right choice.
