Hands-on Review: Benro MeFoto AO350Q Travel Tripod Kit

After quite a lot of testing, I’m happy to be able to present this hands-on video review of the Benro MeFoto A0350Q Travel Tripod Kit.

One Hour Street/Travel Photography and Lightroom 4 Video Available

I recently did a streaming webinar that consisted of my answers to questions from people who receive my Inkjet & Imaging Tips Newsletter.

Private One-on-One Color Management, Printing and Photo Workshops on 7/21/2012 in NJ
