3 axis vs. 2 axis. Which is better? What purpose for each? Thanks! Hint: I mostly do beach/landscape photos.

The third axis allows you to level the camera on vertical shots. If you only shoot horizontal the two axis is sufficient.

Just horizontaly, unless your tripod is a "jobi" style (as pictured) and can grab onto something "sideways" to allow pictures to be oriented vertically (portrait) vs horizontally (landscape).

Does anyone have experience with model and close-up shot quality? I need it for photographing my oil paintings for competitions and websites, but I'd also like it for travel shots. Is it too much to ask for both capabilities in one camera? Thanks

It's best for video but works for photo. It's a little too clunky to be versatile in all photography applications which is why I own a smaller three-way head I can throw on the same legs whenever I need to do exclusively photography work.

For 4x6 I had to use sheets that only hold two photos. I've been working with all sorts of sizes, many of them more than 100 years old, and it has been maddening. Sorry I can't give you a positive answer.

It appears that you can only set to shoot 6op in 2D. Furthermore, you cannot shoot 3D stills with any setting. A disappointment for a HD 3D camera.

3 by a large margin. Only get the 2 if you are space limit. The 3 is much more versatile.

If you are using a regular star diagonal then the images are mirrored, this diagonal will correct it. Also it will be a bit easier to point a terrestrial objects using this diagonal.

IPS ? I don't think so ... Colors and intensity vary inmediatly you leave the axis ! Also the screen surface is too polished (glossy, what for ???) and acts as a mirror. Disappointing

As much zoom as your two feet care to move either forward or backward. Seriously, don't stand in one place when taking photos. Perspective also changes in respect to where you are. Don't stand in one place.

I'm sorry, I don't quite know what you mean by this. I have not come across this expression (intervalometer) before in photography personally. Could you explain what you would do with this function?

the difference is the size, type 3 is for FX sensor and type 2 for DX, which is what you need.

Just beware of putting subjects on the edge of the frame when @ 17mm - 25mm. You are going to get horizontal distortion, not a ton but its not flattering to those on the side. No one would ever notice this on a landscape photo but when its a person... Pretty easy to fix in post if you have a decent software. Its a great lens though!

Side panning is beautiful. Up and down is not so smooth but it can work alright. Diagonal panning is horrible. Just be aware.

Actually, for portrait I really much prefer something like 85mm to have a really nice bokeh and isolation of your subject. A 35mm is awesome to have put not primarily for portrait because you will endup always being so close to your subject that it becomes almost embarassing!

Its better to use two tripods, one on each end. Or a huge and expensive one in the middle.

Not sure what they mean by 3-axis pivoting...it has a small amount of side to side (or roll) movement to allow for cant instead of having to adjust one leg for cant but no 3-axis pivoting. A 3-axis mount would be like a helicopter gun mount...can move up,down and side to side freely. They are not 3-axis but great bipods.
