what is the answer please? i cant find it

edit: nvm i was looking at the wrong bit.

[jradley]

I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to say in relation to answers of competitions, so I'll tread very carefully.......

You have to choose 1 out of three answers, and the sponsor provides a link to the product page on their website for you to get a hint. Thing is, even though Manfrotto only refer to it with one term, the sponsor actually uses two different terms to refer to it in their web page, both of which are given as possible answers.

I went with the Manfrotto one, but would hate to think I got it wrong. It does seem rather confusing to me.

Actually, the reason is pretty sound - lots of countries have all sorts of disparate laws covering competitons (particularly online); there's no standardised global legislation. As a result competitions are usually restricted to certain areas. Some countries are not included simply because the company running teh competition can't justify the costs of clarifying the legal situation for every separate nation.

Yeah, but that's no good. This should be regulated so that it's common knowledge that you can enter a competition anywhere you want, and get the prize. When you are from a small country like Croatia, there's not much competitions to enter Manfrotto sort it out

So what I want to know is, what was the answer ?

It could have been "Quick" centre column, like what Bogen call it or "Rapid", like what Manfrotto call it. Both were available options in the answers and I didn't know which to put ????

Happy Christmas to all
