[QUOTE="Deezey, post: 270806, member: 13223"] Well its official! I love the Manfrotto 055XPROB with the Vanguard SBH-250. They are built like a tank. I think the combo weighs in at roughly 6.6 pounds. Its pretty beefy, but in a good way. I am way more confident with this set up than my previous tripod combo. While this combo wasn't super expensive. (The tripod was purchase still in box from a friend for $80, and the SBH-250 was roughly the same price) I am pretty happy and feel that it was money well spent. The Vanguard is also really well built. The thing feels solid and has a pretty good heft to it. it is rated at I believe 44lbs. No slipping whatsoever with this thing. And it moves and pivots without any catches or hiccups. I also like the square safety button for the plate. And the locking dial really lets you snug that plate down into position. For the money I believe this is quite a bargain for a budget setup. Again I am very satisfied for the money spent. A big thanks goes to [USER=10447]@Ironwood[/USER] for the tip on the SBH-250.
