Get the 190cx3 but not the 484rc2 as you will be upgrading to another ballhead very soon. Get either 486rc2 or 488rc2. 488rc2 if you are taking macro and landscape. as it has two different locking, one for panning and the other for the tilt and rotate. The 190cx can go to 3cm low as you can remove the centre column and replace it with the attached low angle column. if not you can alway pay more to get the 190cxpro3. which is the same as the 190xprob.
Yes, I like taking macro and landscape.. Macro lens is in my wish list...:lovegrin:
Those ball head you mentioned 486rc3 and 488rc2 and so on....
The tripod able to take it?... :dunno:
The centre column can be replace? meaning there is addition short column given?
190CXpro3 is way out of my budget...:nono:
