For use on Sony F717 now. Maximum height around 1.6 to 1.7m, minimum height around 20cm (for macro or insect shots ?) Support up to 3 to 5kg so that I can reuse it in case I upgrade to DSLR in the future. Budget around S$100 to S$200. Thanks !

Does anyone knows the selling price of 055Pro Black ?
Seem like its either 190 Pro or 055 Pro for me.
055 Pro will be better since it can extends up to 1.7+m while 190Pro only at 1.4+m but the weight of 055Pro (2.4kg?) is heavier than the 190 Pro (1.9kg?)
Thanks guys !

The 190 might be 140cm+.
However, with a head and the camera itself (view-finder is on the top part of the camera), it will be suitable for a person who is 170cm+.
Most importantly, bring your setup to the shop to test.

I just got a Manfrotto 190ProB and 141RC, the height is slightly lower than my eye level when I am standing straight upright , but the centre column is adjustable, I'm 1.7m.
In that case I would suggest u get the 055 Pro, shld be tall enuff for u without extending the centre column. Its heavier than 190 Pro, but I think its alright if u dun mind lugging around the weight. As for the head, recommend the 486RC2, ~$80 w/ GST.Originally posted by majere2sg
ermm the tripod is 145cm and with the 141RC which is 13cm so total height should be around 159cm.
Mounted with the camera, probably its okay for you
But I'm 1.78m..
Btw, I heard from my colleague who said its better to get a tripod that is high enough so you don't have to extend the centre column (might not be stable?) :dunno:
