I suggest you wait. Then get a gitzo systematic 2541 or whatnot for some ridunculous price and feel totally awesome. Don't rush.


BTW, yes, Manfrotto is good. But Gitzo :: Manfrotto = Mercedes::Ferrari.

I definitely will wait but I don't ever see me spending quite that much on a tripod. I only spent the $$ on the 580 EX II because my internal flash was giving me problems but it was pretty pricey for me. I will definitely wait and save...and save and with any luck, maybe by the time I'm ready financially someone will be selling a nice used one. I've never in my life spent this much money on myself for a hobby and I don't think a new "Ferrari" is in my future. I just bought myself a Nissan Murano a few months ago and I love it so if I can find a tripod in that class ...I'll be happy. []
