Hi,
I'd like to upgrade my Opticron aluminium tripod (think the model is 42704) and panhead for my ES80 ED.
Do you think I woud see a marked improvement in performance from a Manfrotto + fluid head setup? It goes without saying, I'd rather not spend the cash if it's not really worth it! (Budget of about £200 if required)
It occurred to me to keep the tripod and just change the head. Does that sound sensible? Weight isn't a huge issue but the lighter, the better whilst maintaining stability out in the windy west coast of Scotland!
