Giottos tripod - anyone have experience of them?

[JSW]

Am really interested in this:

Giottos - Premium Quality Tripods, Heads & Accessories

I would rather a ball head but can't find the legs available without the 3 way PT head?

Have considered redsnapper but I really want the 3-D centre column function of the Giottos.

Can't find much info anywhere so hoping to find a user of one before I buy

Cheapest I can find: Giottos MTL9361B + MH5001 Tripod & Head kit | Tripods | College Cameras Ltd.

Or is there something similar I could go for with ability to have horizontal centre column and a ball head for £120 ?

Thanks

Giottos MH1302-652 Ball Head Series II MH1302-652 1 £52.99
Giottos MTL Adjustable Column MTL9351B 1 £67.99
Giottos Tripod bag AA1252 1 £14.99

I use a Giottos and I am really pleased with it. If I had spotted the thread earlier that might have been a helpful post.........as it is?

Too late, but you've made a good buy. I've used Giottos tripods and do like them.
