Hi, what is the better tripod please

the 450r or 600r

the reasion i ask, is that i just brought the 450r from jessops on there offer, (http://www.jessops.com/online.store...html?cm_re=RECENTLY-_-110510-_-RecentlyViewed) but i thought it was the 600r and the sales person said no it is the 450r that is on offer. after a little more reading on online, the spec on the jessops website makes out that it is the 600r.

any info welcome

thanks

Looking at warehouse express they seem very similar, Jessops gave me the 750R today (same deal, I expected the 600 too).

At warehouse express the 450 is £89, 600 is £87.49 and the 750 is £99.

they all come with the same panhead PH-157Q 3-way.

450 spec:

Max load (g) 4000
Min height (cm) 64.5

Leg sections 3
Closed length (cm) 67.5

600 spec

Funnily enough I popped into Jessops tonight (in Cambridge) to have a look at this and its definitely the 450R. I didn't like the look of it.
 
I bet it depends on the store, they are prob using up what Velbon Sherpa's they have left, whatever the model. I was given the 750 whilst someone else got the 600.
 
Just picked up my 600r and have to say very impressed!!! For £28 it is an awesome deal much better than my old tripod, I would highly recommend. I'm on my phone at the mo or I would give a better review. I'd give 8.5/10!!
 
I picked one up a couple of months back, the thing I like about this is that you can put a second head on the centre column and get soe low shots
 
To be fair online it just states velbon sherpa tripod, no model number.

for £28 its a steal anyway
 
Just picked mine up and got the 600r. looks great for 27 quid to me
 
I ended up with a 750R.....really good deal methinks!
