I guess I was fortunate not to have got the 055 if you cant angle the vertical column? I never mentioned, but was shown loads of heads also, after using my £30 jessops I guess anything would be a rolls royce! but was impessed by the manfrotto junior geared head, not cheap, but it would stop all the issues I had with my jessops! as soon as it was set and tightened, then it would drop 5mm. Ok..so I need a tripod that is as sturdy as the 055pro, but with horizontal adjustment for macro work...more swotting up lol..price, and I guess weight is not an issue, after a long walk I may say different? I mean a good investment now will possibly be the only one I need to make regarding a tripod yes! This could open up another can of worms? along with my quest for a suitable tripod and visiting jessop/camera shops in the area, an assistant mentioned have you thought about a focussing rail? OMG!..sounds very useful, but when will it end lol, not a necessity I guess, but poss a luxury no?
Thankyou all for your links and information and mostly your time! I think i've got another w/end listening to "your not on that computer again looking at cameras are you" doh!
