I have a Hama Gamma74 tripod at the moment, which I'm quite happy with in all respects apart from one - it's tall enough, it's sturdy enough, and all that but the tray is not level...
So, walking past a 2nd hand shop I spotted a couple of tripods in there. A Velbon DV6000 for £39 and a Monfrotto of some description for £49. I think it's a 055D. I preferred the feel of the Manfrotto, plus the fact that the legs can be set as wide apart as you need...
However, the head on it wouldn't go level either. I'm not sure what model - looking at the Manfrotto website, it looks like it's a 390RC2 Pan head.
Are either of these worth going for, over my existing tripod? I'm tempted by the Manfrotto, but would need another head for it, I suppose...
Thanks
Chris
