Equipment Model: 055xprob aluminum tripod + 488rc2 ballhead
Price (S$): SB $360, BNP $395
Description:
Selling off my Manfrotto 055xprob tripod + Manfrotto 488rc2 ballhead as a package.
Both bought at Cathay Photo Marina on 5th July 09.
Bought it for it's unextended height (142cm). Combined with the 488rc2 ballhead and camera + battery grip, the viewfinder was perfectly at my eye level with central column unextended (I am 183cm tall). However, after carrying it around for awhile, I realised that it's too heavy for general walkabout photography, especially when carrying a lot of gear. I'm willing to purchase a lighter model and sacrifice the stability for greater mobility.
The condition of the ballhead is 9, with a long thin scratch on the edge of the release clip as it rubbed against something.
The condition of the tripod is 9, with a small 0.7cm scratch on one of the legs. Because of these two flaws, I will be throwing in a mint condition original Manfrotto tripod strap which costs ~$30 if the BNP is met.

All Manfrotto products come with an extend 3 year warranty on top of the local warranty. I'm not sure how long the local warranty is, but you are guaranteed at least 3 more years since it's only been 6 months.
If anyone has a lighter tripod to trade with top up, please do let me know too.
