Is this a good tripod?

The Velbon CF tripods are very good, they're light weight and stable. Personally I'd recommend the 63x series over the 53x as they are a bit taller and have a bigger foootprint giving great stability. They have a splitable centre column so you can get down to very low levels when needed. The supplied head isn't great but it will do the job until you want to change it for a better one, you can put a nice Manfrotto head on top. A friend uses the 535 with supplied head and puts a Canon 100-400 on it, so I'm sure it will cope with a 200mm lens unless it's a real monster.
 
The move to 63x is another £120!!

Thanks for the reviews!
