Hi, I'm looking to buy a tripod for my DSLR. I'd like to spend around $200. I really like the Manfrotto 055XPROB legs on Amazon ($180 as this writing), but I think that might go over my budget once I factor in the tripod head. Are there any similar-quality tripod leg+head combos for under $200?
There's a really cheap alternative - the Dolica AX620B100 62-inch tripod ($40). My eye-level is about 64 inches, so this would be perfect. Is it that big of a problem to raise the center column? Or is there anything really bad about this tripod? There's also the Dolica AX680P104 ($75), which reaches 68 inches with the center column. I can't find any info on how tall it is without raising the column, though.
