@abruzzi Same here. I have too darn many 35mm cameras and I just can't bring myself to sell them. My MF cameras do see the tripod now and again but mostly are hand held. I use my Horseman cameras a lot and if the time ever came to only have one system left that would be it. I have been playing with handheld 4x5 a little and it is interesting. But tripod is best. I have used tripods with my 4x5 press cameras but used the rangefinder/viewfinder and got good results.

My travel camera is usually a Bronica SQ-A or an ETRSi. The SQ-A a bit larger/heavier than the ETRSi but square means I can crop landscape or portrait and I can stick with the lighter WLF. I have a great setup for the ETRSi with a prism and a pistol grip, but it involves carrying the camera upside down, and my current ETRSi body doesn't seem to like that, so I need to do some more testing (I hate the side grip for the ETRSi because it makes the camera too bulky.)

Using the Rolleifix, the Rolleiflex felt secure on the tripod. On a trip to Japan two years ago, I did have issues with the back of the Rolleicord flexing while carrying it on the tripod and had some light leaks.

For your Rolleicord, you may get the old-style Panorama head. Expect the very early models, this head usually fits the older and newer anchors on the Rolleiflex and are a good Rolleifix alternative.
