Hi all,
I need a new tripod and have tried out the 055 and the 190 ranges. The 055 is too tall for me and I can use the 190 comfortably with the centre column raised only a little.
There's only 20 quid difference in the two Manfrotto carbon 190s, but since I will mainly use it for a scope I'm not sure it's worth paying the extra for the Pro version. The Pro is a cm or so higher, and has the ability to use the centre column horizontally. Also the centre column is carbon fibre whereas on the other one it's not.
Is there anything else worth considering before making the decision?
Thanks
Sean
