New Tripod and head

I am looking for a new tripod and have seen this and was wondering if its a good set up. I could also buy the tripod on its own for £99 and get a different head like the 804rc2 head. Would mainly be landscapes and sometimes wildlife be used for. Anybody had this set up?

Very good tripod in my opinion. That model replaces the older 055PROB, which is also an excellent tripod. I personally don't care for Manfrotto's QD plate mechanism, however, so I use an Arca Swiss head/plate on my 'PROB. That being said, I'm definitely in the minority as most people are very happy with the Manfrotto QD system.

Anyone used the Mefoto Roadtrip?????

Just ordered it

The Manfrotto or the MeFoto?

Ooops sorry the Manfrotto kit. Was thinking if weight is an issue I will worry about it then. Thanks all for your help

Oh...you had two threads about this. In any case, it looks to be a solid tripod so good luck with it!
