Which Tripod

[Roy03]

I am considering buying a better tripod, and the two I've shortlisted are the Giottos MTL 9361B and the Manfrotto 190XPROB The Giottos seems more versatile with its 180 degree centre column, but any input or recommendations for other makes will be very welcome.
many thanks

I upgraded from a Manfrotto 190.DB to a Giotto 9351B . The Giotto is much more versatile specially for macro shots as well as that it sits higher so you rarely have to pull up the centre column. Have to say though i think the Manfrotto is better made. Hope this helps ... graham

Many thanks for your replies, and it sort of backs up my gut feeling,but I will look at both and compare
