Have a question regarding my tripod too. Hope you don't mind binbeto.
I just got myself a manfrotto 055 of which the central column can be taken out. The ball head could be mounted on the tripod via a provided adaptor.
I wish to know if its advisable to use the tripod all the time(including transportation etc) without the central column.
Thanks!
For the 190/055Pro you can remove the adaptor from the bottom of the centre column, remove the column, then attach the adaptor to your head and secure it back onto the tripod.Originally posted by wormz777

What you have left would be a slightly lighter load. However, you will not have the option of raising the height when needed. Personally I keep my centre column attached and raise it only when needed.

The reason why I bought the 055 instead of the 190 is because of its height wo extending the central column. The height is just nice for me as I am abt 1.77m tall.

Why is this so?
I tried to carry my tripod without the central column. Feels good, but looks a bit wierd cos all the three legs touch each other at the end.

Yup, got what u meant binbeto. Another joint means more instability.
So I have decided to remove my central column for good.

Really depends on your shooting style.
If you use long tele lens and slow shutter speed like 4 sec or more. You will do better w/o the center column.
Other than that the column won't introdue much problem.
W/o the center column, it will be more troublesome if u need a small adjustment in height.
