Manfrotto Tripod

[Old Stu]

I'm thinking of buying the Manfrotto 055XPROB Pro tripod, Jessops currently have it for £109.99 but what head should I look at. It will be used for mainly night time shots using a 7D?

Hi!
I just got that tripod and am using the Manfrotto 496rc2 ball head, I think they're about £45. It's working great for me with the 7D.

OK thanks, I'll have a look at that one

Depending on how much you want to spend I am a big fan of the geared heads for landscape photography, I use a 405 on my main tripod (055XProB) and a 410 on my travel carbon fibre Gitzo.

I have this head too. Super sturdy and well balanced even with heavy gear on it
