This is a good price for a decent tripod and head, non?...
Manfrotto MK055XPRO3 Tripod and 498RC2 Ball Head (MK055XPRO3-BH) - Wex Photographic
The tripod on its own is £159, so an extra tenner for the ball head.
the last time I looked (recently) these were about £240 in Ali, so looks like on a good offer at the mo.
just making y'all aware, in case any of you are in the market.
It was the combi that I've coveted for a while, but I wanted to CF version, but couldn't afford it.
But at this price, I'm happy to compromise. The Ali is 2.5kgs compared to the CF's 2kgs, so no biggie to me. Plus what one loses in heaviness, one gains in sturdiness.
i'll get a smaller one for travel at some point in the future. But as I don't seem to be able to stop spending money (that I haven't got), I won't be going anywhere soon anyway!
