Hi all, my Manfrotto 190 tripod was stolen so need to replace it. I bought it in 2014 before I was aware of the Arca mount type. I've since purchased a Peak Design strap with an Arca plate and would like to keep that format.
Manfrotto doesn't appear to play very well with Arca. It was necessary for me to purchase a little conversion piece to get the head to work with my strap. I'm not sure I want to do that again.
So I was considering Induro. I hadn't ever heard of them before. I was considering the CLT204 4-piece carbon fiber tripod and the BHL2S ball head. Does anyone have any experience they can share? Better than the 190 Manfrotto?
Of course I can read the online reviews, but I was wondering about the experience of people here, and if you had any similar suggestions. I don't have enough to purchase a gimbal head, and the $399 + $299 for this kit is already super expensive.
Is there any chance there will be discounts available for Black Friday in a few weeks?
