Mar 03, 2010 07:30 | #1 Ok, I know this is a repeated question. But let me start, I already am using both the 190x prob and 055 x PROB models but am looking for some more cheaper or good solutions other than manfrotto tripods as I know that there are many other alternatives than them, wanna try them for everyday usage or something that is strong and is stable enough to handle the weight. |1D Mk IV| |5D Mk II| |1D Mk III| 17-40 f4L | 24-105 F4 L | 70-200L F4 IS| | Canon 70-200 2.8 | 300F4 L | 150 F2.8 Macro | 100 f2.0 |100 f2.8 MACRO | 15 2.8 Fisheye | 85 f1.2 L | 135 L f2.0 | 50 f2.5 Macro | 400 5.6 | 400 2.8 L IS | 1.4 X I | 1.4 X II | 2 X II | Mnafrotto 055 X Pro B |

You need to be more specific. maxloxton wrote in post #9719604  Ok, I know this is a repeated question.

So, guys kindly give me other options for some alternatives.

Mar 04, 2010 06:23 | #5 I have been using both of these tripods for quite sometime but what hurts me at times is the weight of both of these tripods to carry while when you are trekking in the mountains. Hence am looking for some cheaper or better alternative like carbon fibre for that. |1D Mk IV| |5D Mk II| |1D Mk III| 17-40 f4L | 24-105 F4 L | 70-200L F4 IS| | Canon 70-200 2.8 | 300F4 L | 150 F2.8 Macro | 100 f2.0 |100 f2.8 MACRO | 15 2.8 Fisheye | 85 f1.2 L | 135 L f2.0 | 50 f2.5 Macro | 400 5.6 | 400 2.8 L IS | 1.4 X I | 1.4 X II | 2 X II | Mnafrotto 055 X Pro B |

DOn;t even need to do a search. Here are some suggestions. Bohdan - I may be, and probably am, completely wrong.

katodog Goldmember  More info | Mar 04, 2010 07:29 | #7 Dolica Proline Carbon Fiber. Just Google around to find them, a lot of places sell them. I have one, and it's super light and strong enough to hold a gripped body/Sig 150-500mm OS with zero problems. You can put a different ball head on if you choose, and it typically comes with two QR plates and tools for adjusting leg lock tension and whatnot. The only stupid question is the one that goes unasked - Photographers shoot to thrill, not to kill
