Has hat, will stand in the rain
Hi, long time thread poster, first time thread starter!
I use a Manfrotto 055v tripod for its height and stability. However, I find the weight to be a real pain in the shoulder if I'm moving around. Having some money to spend, I reckon its time for a nice lump of carbon fibre |:d|.
I've done some looking, read reviews and the like, but what I'd really value is your hard-won experience of using the things in the real world over the long term. So, are these Gitzos really all they're cracked up to be? Are Manfrotto's carbon fibres as good as their aluminiums?
Cheers in advance! :t:
