For my first long tripod I inquired and the verdict fell on the MK394-H.
Carrying capacity 3.5kg, beyond the weight of a canon 600D with its objective, good height, fluid head and precise, and the head can be put down to the macro photo.
In short:
Manfrotto + (one of the best on the market)
+ Robust and good finish
+ Stable
+ Height min. and max.
+ Pretty good ball
+ Cover provided
- Probably the weight that's still decent.
- I can find no other at the moment.
It costs ten euro more than its little brother but your much the blow, especially for the max weight supported because you can meter heavy.
Well-on and as always a big one at amazon service, fast, efficient and always at great prices.
