Giottos MT 8361 & Vanguard sbh-250

[Provo]

My wife just bought for me the Giotto’s MT8361 Carbon Fiber Tripod & the vanguard SBH-250 Ball head. I must say after testing this out this evening I am amazed how light this tripod is #1, #2 how sturdy it is the build quality is superb. The vanguard ball head moves fluidly.

The tripod features a retractable hook for weighing it down with a sandbag
and the neck is a pullout swivel kind I highly recommend this tripod

I've been using and recommending Giottos tripod legs for years and have always felt they offered a bit more value for the $, over Manfrotto.
