Was (still am) looking for a tripod, and just came across this deal on camerapricebuster....Manfrotto MK055XPRO3 Tripod and 498RC2 Ball Head easter sale at Wex £169 instead of £299 save £130. Ordered mine today
Thanks guys.
I don't really need the ball head, so I'll either see if they can swap it for a bag, or I'll just sell it!
