After much research, flip-flopping, and agonizing, UPS just dropped off my Manfrotto 190CXPRO3 legs, and Manfrotto 498RC2 head. Can't wait to try it out.

Love the manfrotto build quality, the carbon is sweet. The head is really really nice - best one i've used. I have a nice benro travel tripod that works great even with my heavier lenses, but unless I am going to do a ton of walking, I ALWAYS grab the manfrotto. 5D III | 7D | 17-40L | 24-70L II | 24-105L | 40 Pancake | 85L II | 100L Macro | 70-200L II | 300L IS | 400L | ST-E3-RT | 600EX-RT x3
