[QUOTE="AxeMan - Rick S., post: 28412, member: 1746"] If I’m not mistaken the 190XPROB is the smaller lighter version of the 055XPROB which I have. The 055XPROB I’m guessing is heavier and larger version, and I’m also using the “Joystick” head. Based on reviews / talk I found in some of the older threads is why I bought this set up. I have nothing but good things to say about it, and I know of one other user on this board that uses the “Joystick” head and I believe they also use a Manfrotto tripod. If your looking to take this on hiking trips, I think the weight factor will come into play. From what I have read the difference is only about a pound between the two models (4 and 5 pounds) I find the 055XPROB heavy, but I knew that when I bought it. I too wanted something well made that would hold my gear stable. I choose to deal with the weight over the cost of a lighter tripod, that my preference. If your looking for something lighter in weight you might want to think about one of the Carbon Fiber models Manfrotto offers, but that is going to cost you more money. I would stick with the “Joystick” head. Just squeeze it, set your camera in position, let go, and forget it, DONE! [/QUOTE]
