Giottos MTL 8361B (1 Viewer)

I have been 'mulling' over which tripod to get for some time and eventually went for the Giotto
I couldn't afford the Manfrotto/Gitzo range and was going to get the Benro Flexpod (as recommended by anothr bf member).
However a local stockist recommended the above and I'm very pleased with it:-
Very light - 1.75 Kg
Very sturdy with hardly any flex
3 section to 1450mm with column down
Removable rotating column for macro
Each leg will easily adjust to any angle independantly
It cost me about £5.00 more @ £185.00 but with the benefit of dealing with the stockist )which I always like to do if price permits)
Over-all I would recommend it to anyone who is in the market for a new tripod.

I really like the MT9260 tripod, i use it with the 128rc manfrotto. And very nice price too. Not sure how big of a difference it is but it´s a quite new brand here in Sweden and not too famous yet.

There's a review on Giottos and other tripods in Digital Camera Buyer magazine (issue number 83) and the Giottos came out No1 also some good reviews on Superzoom Bridge camera's
