SAVAGE NEWS

Syl Hank and Rich Memoli recently returned from a trip to China to attend the China Photo & Digital Expo in Shanghai. At the show they viewed new products and visited with Savage customers from China, Vietnam and Germany. Rich Memoli commented that it was an exciting trip and the hospitality and food were outstanding.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT - TWISTOL GRIP TRIPOD (TWTG)

Versatility doesn’t get better than this. The Twistol Grip Tripod features ball head construction for maximum ease of movement and quick-setting in a time crunch. Twisting the head in the opposite direction locks it in place without additional movement. With the Twistol Grip Tripod there is no need to tighten any knobs or levers before shooting. Other ball head systems have some play, but not the Twistol Grip Tripod. It also achieves an angle parallel to the ground and gives you access to 180 degrees to position your camera. For more information download the new Savage Photo Equipment Catalog at www.savagepaper.com.
