I've an el cheapo QR plate... maybe i will modify it to copy this :bsmilie:

Del_CtrlnoAlt, thanks for the tip. Looks like i'll have to save up for a gitzo and make it a once and for all purchase (Maybe the tripod last 20years with me :bsmilie:) I guess i can hang the camera bag on the tripod as a support, yah. But your rubber string suggestion is fantastic/unique -...

Thanks Rubber_duck, your review and experience with the legs and BH has made it easier for me to decide. ;) btw, great indepth. Thanks An drew, i might look into getting a 4 section since its more compact. Thanks Leong23 for your advice! :thumbsup:

i'm about 5'2"

er.. i think i can afford up to the follow types of config (not too sure about other tripod prices but can use these as a base) 1) 190cxpro3 + 488rc2 2) Situi T-1004 + Markins Q3T

Hi Rashkae, thanks for the reply. Was reading some reviews here and noticed the manfrotto 190cxpro3 and pro4 paired with the 488Rc2 seems okay. Worth plonking so much on a pricey tripod? The reviewers never said whether the setting up was fast or not in terms or the center column being...

As I am female, i don't think i can carry a heavy tripod (if together with my existing gear). Any recommendations for a tripod that is somewhat weight-friendly and suitable for macro? I do mainly macro these days. How much do i need to spend? Not really particular about brands (tripod and...
