New Tripod and Head.

My birthday next month so decided to treat myself early:D

So I bought a Manfrotto 055XPROB Tripod, and a Manfrotto 494RC2 Ball Head.

Now I know this isn't a big deal for lots of you guys but only having used a cheap Tripod which was as usefull as a chocolate coffee pot, this is a huge move up for me. I didn't even know I had to buy a head to go with the legs!! I am soooo green!

Anyway, I know its not hugely expensive but I have been blown away and don't know how I ever got by without it.

I can understand now what everyone says when they mention to get a decent Tripod, and that is what I want to pass on to newbies (like myself really).

Newbies take note:D. Get a decent Tripod as soon as you want one, you will not regret it.
