no you can't :razz:


I got the Jessops one in the summer at £79, absolute bargain IMO, the head is exactly the same as Redsnappers 528 head which is great quality although I now have a Manfrotto ball head on it.

How would this work as a travel tripod? Seems a good price to me and I really need to travel light so can't take my Manfrotto 055XPROB / 804RC2.

its still as big as 'normal' tripods and even though its lighter than the norm it still isnt nowhere near as light as a dedicated travel tripod so personally I would look for one of those, and it will complement your main tripod and you wont feel like you have duplicates.

Thanks for that; I popped into Jessops today and decided it wasn't really what I want. :(

I did however pick up a Giotto ball head for a bargain price! :)

Now I just need to find the right tripod to go with it!

No, I was lucky enough to see that the ball head was mis-priced in store; it scanned at the higher price but the manager was kind enough to give it to me at the marked price - and promptly removed the price label.

I got it for £14.99 which was mean to be the price of the Jessops own brand head, rather than £40 (which it scanned at) or even £34 (online price).

Well done to that manager
