Old tech still compatible with new tech

I was playing with film and was amazed my ancient tech camera mounts to the latest tech carbon fibre tripod technologies. Guess that bolt size hasn't changed since the WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY old days

Some standards need not be updated or changed.

Screwing hasn't changed in...well...a long time, dude!

I'm wondering if a pocketwizard will work in the hot shoe too, or if it'll put out some high or weird voltage and fry my PW?

I shake my head when I see ads for 'Digital Tripods'. :roll:

Digital tripods are AWESOME, Mike!!! The leg splay angle is read out on a small LED on each leg, in precise, digital increments!! Like "30.045 Deg", and "20.456 Deg"...they freakin' ROCK!!! I love my new digital tripod! You need to check them out! I got my digital tripod from http://www.useless-malarkey_pod_oilersblow_BS.com

Yeah those new digital tripods render my carbon fiber tripod obsolete and so "old school"

Is there a splay angle differential factor, like on crop vs. full-frame sensors?

I think there has to be a catch somewhere, there just has to be =)
