Induro Tripod & Ball Head

[undergrad.]

I'm looking to purchase a good quality light tripod and ball head. Ill be bringing this tripod
with me to school virtually every day so the weight is very important.
I have had my eye on the Induro C-014 Carbon 8x w/ the SA-0 SA Ball Head Kit.

I have had very little luck finding many reviews on these products. I was wondering if any of you have any
experience with these products and if so how did you find them?

My other option is purchasing MANFROTTO 190XPROB /w Manfrotto 488RC4.

My experience with Induro. I might add that after numerous attempts to contact them they not once got back with me.

My other option is purchasing MANFROTTO 190XPROB /w Manfrotto 488RC4.You would be far happier with the Manfrotto 488RC2 rather than the RC4 version. The RC4 quick release plate is huge and is really designed for much bigger cameras than the Canon EOS line.

If you put an RC4 QR plate on an EOS camera, you will find it getting seriously in the way of handling the camera.

I ended up going with the Induro C-114 and SA-12 S.
Lets hope mine doesn't fall apart.
