Hi all,

Pretty much made up my mind on a tripod. Think I'm gonna go with Manfrotto 055XPROB. I'm pretty sure I want a ball head and wad looking for some recommedations. I've read mixed review regarding Manfrotto ball heads in my price range but do like the idea of the dedicated panning feature of the 498 series.
 
The 3leggedthing ball heads are great for £60. Two sizes, decent size ball for heavier loads and very smooth. Separate tension, PA and main ball locks all work well also takes arca style plates which are pretty easy to come by.
 
I'm using a 486RC2 on mine. Have been very happy with it so far.
 
Also have a look at the Redsnapper range... Excellent quality and price.
 
No real complaints with the older 488RC4, which shares the plate with the 410 geared head.
 
The Redsnapper is very well made and works really well for the money.
 
:agree:
Another vote for Redsnapper. I have the RSH-12 ball head. Excellent product, superb service and a discount for TP members as well :thumbs:
 
Thanks for the replies folks. I have heard good things about red snapper. Would actually have gone for an rs tripod but I like the idea of the 90deg adjustment of the centre column with Manfrotto 055XPROB. I did also consider a Giottos MTL9361B. I'm going bit off topic but can anyone tell what these 2 tripods are like
