Hi all,
bought a Manfrotto 190cpkit tripod a couple of years ago. It has the 128rc head on it and was bought specifically so it would not fall over in north eastern gales like the Velbon Sherpa tripod I owned used to! Well, be careful of getting what you wished for! This tripod with the scope on is heavy and no matter which way i carry it the tightening nuts on it dig into me! That is when they are not falling off (I've lost two of the centre head nuts already) Does anyone know where i can get spare tightening nuts and what I can do to improve the carrying of the tripod, or is it a case of buying a different one?
Also is there a better head for this tripod, as i find the 128 hard to use when following a bird in flight?
Cheers
