I am 5'2" and want to use this for sports photography. Which size would you recommend?

I would guess the shortest one they make but... I'd advise you to find something to sit on for comparison that's comfortable to you and let that be your guide for deciding the stool you need.

Hi Irene. It all depends what u'll use it for. I use it when I paint outdoors and sit for long periods, that's why I chose the 'Comfort' model which has a wider base. I chose this height too so my thighs are parallel to the ground which enables me to put stuff on my lap without it rolling off. I'm just about your height too, nearly 5'3", 110lbs (52kg) Hope this helps.

Well I'm 6'0 and went with the mid size one I think. It depends on if you want to sit flush with your legs at 90 degrees or less. Do what I did and measure the height of a seat you find comfortable and then pick the stool that is closest to that height when fully deployed.

It kind of depends how "high" you want to sit. I'm 5'4" and I use the 65cm high walkstool while waiting in queues/lines and also while working in a networking closet with patch panels at standing height. As such, it appears that I'm standing up while I'm actually sitting on the walkstool. Of course, this causes the seat to cut into the back of my legs somewhat but I consider it a worthwhile tradeoff. Of course, a shorter walkstool would be much more comfortable but one would be "sitting" much lower. My opinion for what it's worth.

Best to measure how you are comfortable sitting. Probably the 18 or 22, depending how you like to sit.

I am 5'10 so the 75" ball is great for me but I use it for my workouts. I agree with Linda, see if you can check it out before buying. If you belong to a gym, they should have some there but they may not be as firm as you need them due to repeated usage.

I am 5'6" and returned the 22L because it was too big. I bought the 16L and love it. There is plenty of room for my camera and two lenses, plus a light sweatshirt. The rain cover works great too. The "pepper red" is actually bright orange, so I went with the grey.

I use it with a Sony NEX5 with 18-200 mm lens attached. From the back of the camera to the front of the lens it measures 5 3/4". It fits into the bag with 1/4" to spare, without the nose extension being used. With the nose extended there is an additional 2 3/4" of depth available. The NEX5 is a pretty small camera, the body is 2 5/8" tall x 4 3/4" wide (with a leather protector I keep on it). In the bag there is an additional 1" tall and 1" wide available space around my camera. In general this has been an excellent bag. I like it very much and would not hesitate to recommend it, if your camera will fit in it. I use it with a Sony NEX5 with 18-200 mm lens attached.

I would recommend the 15" frame. I am 5'2 and it is slightly to big/almost perfect size for me.

I'm 5'5 and it works for me. I think that would be the correct size for you. It has really helped my back.

I don't shoot sporting events, but I would think you would need a longer lens. I am not crazy about this lens because of chromatic aberration.

I would probably go with the medium size, rather it be a little big than too small plus you can adjust it. Hope this helps.

The smaller ball should be the right height for you. I'm 5'8'' and I definitely need the taller ball. I suggest you test a ball at a store or gym before you get the better deal through Amazon. Good luck.

Get the M. I'm 5'10" and bought the L. I love them! It will be snug but thats the point of compression support. Good luck!

Black Rapids RS Sport is about as good as it gets. Think Tank offers a holster type case. Maybe it can be adapted to a climbing harness, call and ask. Sure you would not prefer a much smaller maybe 4/3 frame camera over a full size DSLR??

This is an awesome lense but it is not as wide as the Nikon 35mm f1.4 or the Nikon 50mm f1.4 which would give you more room in your picture. it is a good lens but more for portraits. The 70-200mm f2.8 is the best for sports and all around pictures, but a bit more money and worth every penny. I personally would not get the 85 for any sports even with how great the shots are your picture would crop in to small to catch a full play.

I´m 5 ft and short legs as well the 65c works good for me, at my computer. I got the 55cm for different exercises I do. Love em´both.

I am 6'2", and I have the standard size which fits great. There is still plenty of slack to either tighten it up or loosen. I would recommend the x-large based on your weight.

I am a sports photographer and I have this camera. The SL1 will work just fine for sports, however, you will need to pair it with a Better lens. Ideal choice would be the canon 70-200 f2.8 but that will cost you more than the camera unless you can find an in expensive used one. But that wapplies to any DSLR you would buy

It does allow for quite a bit of adjustment. I am 6'4" and have it pretty much all the way out. I would buy it and check it out regardless and return if it doesn't suit your needs. It is the best item I have found for carrying a camera so far. I carry a DSLR with a superzoom and vertical shutter/battery pack and it's rides like it's not there, not to mention the easy accessibility.

I am only 5'7" and it is not a problem with the length. It cannot be used with a tripod as the attachment to the camera is at the screw-mount on the base of the camera.
