£37.16
May have to get myself one at that price.
Thank you for the review. Still showing as £49.95 on their website. Is £37.16 a store only price? Thanks

Thank you for the review. Can I ask where you saw it for that price? I wouldn't mind doing picking one up. Thanks Didn't realise there was a second Page to the post. The answer to my question is right there. Duh

...and it turned up, and was fab, and then it pissed down for the whole weekend.

Quick question, can you remove the head?

I'm going for the bonus ball here:
Don't suppose that hexagonal part at the top of the centre column unscrews so you can change the head?

Got mine yesterday - cracking little tripod and perfect for my Lumix G10.
I can finally throw out my ageing Slik 88.
Cheers PH.

What head did you decide upon?
(I have an ancient 055C designed much like that one .... And use Kirk ball and bracket, but will be looking for a fluid head if I get into video....)

Me? a 498 RC2, which took the whole package to £170. I have a 496 head which is sturdy enough, so the 498 will breeze it (but have a quick release plate!)

Ah right! Ballheads are definitely my favourite for static!
Have fun.

I use a monopod and no head for moving subjects.

Well, I finally used it in anger today. An abortive (due to fog) trip to Saltburn. And it's great; the wheel is simply the best thing ever for quick adjustment. It's easy and quick to extend and lock the legs, and then collapse it again. And most important of all, it's really stable.
My photos still look like the dog took them, but it's one more excuse disposed of...
