I'm after something really flexible that can get down low and at all kinds of funny angles like the Benbo ones do. Is there anything else on the market that won't cost an arm and a leg? I've got an upper limit of £150ish including the head. Is there anything else within my price range? Any others I've seen have been £180 upwards.
What's similar to a Benbo tripod? <£150

Uniloc are still available.
I bought a Benbo off ebay a while ago as there don't seem to be any dealers near me. I got one with the additional centre column bracket which enables independant movement of the legs and centre column so that the drunken octopus comment that some people make simply doesn't apply.
I think it's a great combination, it enables me to get the shots that my frustrating as hell Manfrotto simply wouldn't allow and it's more stable than the Manfrotto too.
