w00t! MIFC is back again! Because of this I had to expedite my plans to get a sturdy tripod. As what is preached all over, get a good one, use it for life.
Made my purchase again from Shashinki, since 1st of August Shashinki introduced a new points system where you'd earn some points with every purchase. These points of course could be converted to cash and used with ya next purchase.
I was contemplating if I should go for the smaller carbon fiber 190XPROB at double the price or get the 6 footer 055XPROB which only had the aluminum version. So I figured it wouldn't harm to carry a lil more weight and have a 6 footer.
Package arrived as promised..
There's a comprehensive user review here.
Boy.. I tell ya.. both tripod and ballhead together makes it one heavy setup! Somewhere around 3.4KGs. Not exactly heavy if you'd lift it up for short periods of time. But let's think of a hiking trip ;-). So... if you don't mind forking out the extra moolah, carbon fiber's definitely the way to go peeps.

Agree with you. Buy a good one and can use it for long long time...
what's the diff between 488RC2 and 488RC4?
RC0 RC2 RC4 refer to the tripod quick release plate that's attached to the camera :-). So the plates are different.
