I'm after a new tripod (legs only) - keen to stick with Manfrotto for compatibility with other kit and would like some advice on choice.
This is for use with a Swarowski ATX85 scope
This will be used for birding around nature reserves, walking up to approx 5 miles in all weathers. So needs to be portable, but ultra-light not a main concern.
I'm trying to decide between the carbon fibre 190 and 290 (MT290XTC3) from Manfrotto,
and with the 190 whether to go for the 3 or 4 section version?
(MT190CXPRO3 or MT190CXPRO4)
From the website it appears that they are about the same weight and height, with the 190 presumably more stable.
Has anyone here done a comparison "in the field" please (or in a shop)?
thanks ever so much
