I have a 190xprob tripod but i find it a bit shakey with the 600f4 on it, so i was wondering how much better the redsnapper was, would really like a gitzo but cant really justify the price tag :D

how similar is the 190 xprob to the 190 prob?
I have the standard Prob and a redsnapper pot and I think the redsnapper is much more stable.

Redsnapper holds the 300-800,D300 with grip and a manfrotto 393 head, Granted it ain`t brilliant if extended to full whack, but I use a 475B if that is necessary.

The redsnapper is always in the car,the 190Xprob is used for smaller lenses now.

Hope that helps......:thumbs:

Hiya mate. Yes, in my opinion it is.The 190 is rated at 6 Kgs i think, the Redsnapper at 10. My set up weighs about 8.5 I think.

If i`m not taking the 475B, which I try not to as it is bloody heavy......:(........I take the Redsnapper over the manfrotto everytime.The RS does not have the same flexibility as the 190, but with a 600 like yours on it, I dont think the swinging boom of the 190 is needed.....:lol:
