I guess this depends on your height?
According to the web-site its 1.5m, so it's about an average (1.6-1.7) Singaporean guy's neck or face-level (1.7m) ?

I got it for $75 with sling bag at CP.
Somebody did mention $10 cheaper at MS Color.
U8000 should be ~$10 cheaper.

Thanx.

What's the max operating height for the U8000? Did you try it out before? Is it too low for you?

U8000 should have the same height.
Check the SLIK website.

I just realised the sliks have this windup column? does the manfrotto have that?
yeah I had the normal tripod with 3 stage pan, pain, when the cam is heavy and unbalanced (300mm).
confusing online cos the ads usually just state the legs without col extension...

how much is the manfrotto with ball head? maybe if I skip buying something else first..

The Manfrotto 190 does come with a center column. However, its not the windup type. It has a locking screw though.

Just go down to Cathay and check it out yourself. No amount of screen searching will beat seeing the real thing.

A 2nd hand 055Pro will cost between $100-$130. If you get a ball head it will cost about $70+(brand new 308RC). Dagger is selling her 190ProB with 308RC ballhead for $150. Maybe you can have a look.
