Tripod recommendations

Hi Guys

Looking for a tripod as a Christmas present to myself.

Wex have the "Giottos MTL9351B + MH5011 Tripod Kit" (http://www.warehouseexpress.com/buy-giottos-mtl9351b-mh5011-tripod-kit/p1518590) with a free monopod.

Is it any good or can you recommend me one for about £150?

Matt

Yes - buy a 190CXPRO3 or 4, or a 055CXPRO3 or 4 - they are over your budget at over £200, but they have the promotion with the free pistol grip head - sell it and it will cost you about £150 - probably the best tripod you can buy for that money!

Seconded. I have the original version of the 055CXPRO3 when it was called the 441 - ten years old and still all I need.
That Giottos looks a bit skinny for a 7D plus lens.
