Hi all,
I am searching for a good tripod for my landscape photography, and replacement of my very aged Manfrotto 190 tripod.
The perfect tripod is not available, I am aware of this but has a few demands for my new tripod.
First of all it must be tall enough for me (be 1,72 m tall so the tripod should be 1,42 m high) if possible without a center column (or with a short column. this for my second request, it must can get low to the ground, also for my macro photography. I use a DSLR sometimes with a telephoto lens, so a handling weight must be at least around 15 kg. And it should fit my Benro GD3WH geared head, without the extra adapter, so the base plate of the tripod must be smaller than 80 mm.
I had a few options in sight which according me get my goals or come close to this, first the famous Benro Mach 3 TMA38CL, or the little brother TMA28C (which is a little bit to short). another option is the Benro TTOR35 C of the Tortoise range, but this has then 5 leg section, while I prefer 4. last option is the Leofoto LS364C.
Has anyone had experience with these tripods and are there other suggestions for me.
I have not the highest budget, but will go for a Carbon version instead the alu versions.
