Tripod help - 055 or 190?
in Discussion Forum March 02, 2013, 17:11

Hey everyone!
I know i'm not very active on here but could really use some advice.

I'm hoping to buy a new tripod soon and have narrowed my choices down to the Manfrotto 190XPROB and the Manfrotto 055XPROB. But not sure which would be best for me.

I'm not tall and plan on using the tripod mainly for landscape and macro work (will likely be using a ball head such as the 496RC2 to start off with). I've check other sites and such but still not sure which would be best so would like the opinion's of people who actually own these tripods to help me out as i don't want to waste my money by getting the wrong one.

My main concern is how low can the tripods go (and how easy is this to do) and how stable is it, the weight could also be a probleum but i'm not too concered by that.

Any advice or pointers would be a great help
Thanks Sorriso

Hello!
I live in the middle (well down and left a bit from the middle) of the Derbyshire Dales, a wonderful place to live with plenty of wild places to explore! I have always loved wildlife and have had an interest in photography for very long time. The past 2-3 years i have begun to focus more of my effort and time on photographing and hope to improve my photo skills enough to start a small website selling prints and such.

Please comment on any of my images on this forum and don't be shy about pointing out mistakes or ways i can improve as i'm keen to improve and learn more!!
