yah, but i dont currently own a real piano (my wife has 2 yamaha's but one is in japan, the other one is being sold this summer since i gave her a VPiano for xmas).

im into composition so digital piano (yami CP1) is the way i play...

this will last me another 8yrs before i get me a new one and a RhodesMk7 88Active.

nono, if you're selling your car to buy music gear then you're a member of the music hobbiest. you're going the wrong way.

hahaha.

Nick, another quick question for you...

tripods... what brand/model should i be looking to get? i have an old one wife and i bought for our video camera long time ago but im not sure how long this thing is going to hold.

i want to get a real short one for low-angle shots and a standard height.

It's important to spend money on a decent tripod and head.

I'm currently using a manfrotto tripod and head. You shouldn't need 2 different tripods as the one I'm using for example, the legs collapse outwards to get low to the ground.

A quality head is SUPER IMPORTANT. Just wanna emphasize that haha

My Manfrotto was stolen out of my apartment in texas while i was in seattle on assignment : ( Oh well time for a new one. And Ken, manfrotto is great, cant go wrong!

Good news for the Z! Z1 called me today said my Quife LSD should be arriving at my house today!

dang, sorry to hear about your tripod getting stolen.

i didnt know people steal tripods! a quality LSD should net you some great numbers at the track (road racing or drag).

kenchan · 08-02-2011, 04:07 PM

hummm... ive looked at the manfrotto's but it seem that the center verticle shaft will be the limiting factor for getting very low to the ground... when i mean low to the ground, i want the camera bascially just an inch or two above ground just enough to get it on an angle to point at the car. i'd use a 2second delay to snap the shot.

i dont think i can get these tripods to go as low as this table top one... right?

On most pro quality tripods, you can flip the center post.

You could also attach a lateral side arm, but that's really more useful for macro work.

Great work so far by the way.

phelan · 08-02-2011, 04:25 PM

funny looking, but that's correct. even my crappy costco bought tripod can do that
