"quick" plate one are more expensive .. (slide in and out)

But those with a smaller plate, (clip in) are not that expensive.

You don't need a heavy duty one, so metal tripod is ok, dont need carbon.

My favourite tripod is still my 20 yr old broken Cullmann one ..  ^_^

Catpiano

2KG should be ok ..  but to be safe, buy the 3KG one la, unless you need to put your tripod in/on your backback .. otherwise, a bit extra weight is ok, at the end of the day, I rarely use those carbon tripod, not much different in weight IMO, and I ususually just throw my tripod to trunk anyway...

Catpiano

Fu Lay in 鴨寮街 sell Benro at the lowest price ..  ( can negociate )

^_^

Catpiano

No worry ..  you won't pay 公價 in ap liu ..

However, not too many carbon tripod in stock .. they are popular in HK (travel size)  I bought few metal tripod/mono pod there ... (not much weight different on small size tripod)

Too bad, every time I go FU LAY, different staffs .. LOL

Catpiano

450D + SSW ... A069 should be enough ..  (can't remember which one I got .. lol)

And she can put some weight on the hook, to make it more stable as well ..

^_^

Catpiano

Oh ..  you didn't get the C0680?  My buddy just bought a set, $1600 HKD .. pretty good deal.

A1681 is good, a bit heavier duty ..  I think I that that one... forget the model number, I bought few yr ago.

Catpiano

you could get it on amazon.com just for the same price

    $383 US wor  C fu, plus shipping/tax/duty/handling fee to Canada .. even US $ is so damn low now, still much more then $1,600 HKD ..  (and she was there anyway)

Catpiano

I know .. from $90 to 69 ..  ~ 20% different, still reasonable, but $200 to $383 ..  

I looked at that tripod before, (or similar) always close to $300 US (with head) which is not too bad compare to buying one from HK.

Just like buying in HK, vs buying in China, some price different too ..  

For brand name tripot, such as Gitzo/manfrotto/cullmann etc, not much price different between here and Hong Kong, (~ 10-20%) so better buy local. (warranty and service is better too)

However, I still suggest Benro ..  great tripod for what you pay ..  just 1/2 to 1/3 price of brand name one.

2 lbs weight, and can only hold 2 lbs?? It looks nice and compact ..  but that is about the same load as those "jodi" tripod?? ( whatever name .. )
