Xmas pressy .................. advice?

[X-ray-spex]

Parents in law have asked what I wanted for max £150.00 ..... which is very nice of them ...

As that can't get me the 911 turbo I was after, I am looking at a new tripod head possibly, so thought of
the manfrotto 410 junior geared head maybe?
Anyone got one of these? Good/Bad ?
Or any other ideas within the budget as I am stumped at the moment?

...max £150... As that can't get me the 911 turbo I was after...

You can get 10 of them for that money right here...

HAPPY XMAS

Bit expensive for what they achieve.

I went for a 460MG head. Magnesium with fingertip control on a 3 way head and light enough to be a sensible companion to the 055CF, or 190CF carbon fibre tripods.

Are you sure that tripod is the only thing you think about? What about a lens? CF card? a cheaper flash or light source? a software?........etc.

I took Colin's advice earlier this year and went for the 460MG head and it is oh so light. Really pleased with it.
