| | | manfrotto #075 tripod
i went to a house clearance a few days ago and came across a manfrotto #075 black tripod. i paid £30 for the tripod which i belive to be a bargain, the tripod is (as many of you will know) heavy. and it is in mint condition. there is no head with the tripod which is fine as it was only 30 notes. my question to you people is : should i keep this tripod and buy a good head ? or sell it and put the money towards a lighter tripod and head to suit wildlife photography??? and if i should sell due to the weight issue can you recommend a reasonable lightweight tripod and head around the £200 mark?? |

I would keep it,if you sell it you will kick yourself for ever more
Buy a good head 486 RC2 or a lighter 460 magnesium
Oh and pick up a good monopod while you are at it

ok, thanks for the advice, funny enough i was looking at the 322rc2 today. its very sturdy and quite quick to use. perhaps i will go for that head and see how i get on with the tripod.
thanks again
