Manfrotto £50 cashback
Just a mention in case you are in the market for a new tripod before the end of the year.
Manfrotto are giving a £50 cashback on purchases of Manfrotto 190 or 055 tripods (https://www.manfrotto.com/uk-en/spec...0-055-tripods/). You need to buy through an "authorised dealer" but other than that, any version of 190 or 055 tripod seems to qualify. I've been mulling the purchase of a carbon fibre 055 and this tipped me over the edge... Arrived yesterday |

At the Camera Fiar I go to a Manfrottoo tripod can often be found for £50, and that's in excellent condition

Saying that, if you do not mind waiting, good bargains on the previous version of the 055 carbon fibre jobby do occasionally pop up for well under £150 (but are usually £170+ ish). With the cashback and the seller's discounted price, the new tripod is costing just over £150 (and if I sell my old tripod, around £100 ). |

That’s quite interesting, Bob. I’ve fancied the 055 carbon fibre models for some time. Like you, I’ve been using the aluminium one for a while and it’s really good.

Alex: The c/f one is not massively lighter (2 kilos vs. 2.5 kilos) and as you say the aluminium 055 is an excellent tripod already so I needed a good excuse to splash out on a new carbon fibre version...
Sounds like a good idea Paul - all those absolutely essential items need documenting |

I recently bought a new 055. The dealer thought the cashback could be claimed with a cheque. However, when I looked into applying the promotional company that run it on behalf of Manfrotto will only pay via BACS transfer, ie: you have to give them your bank details. Something I will not do. So I passed up £50 for my peace of mind.

I rently had an unfortunate 'accident' with my old 440 C/F Manfrotto so was delighted to have an excuse to buy a new 055 C/F one (legs only) and have made some good savings, including the £50 cash-back.
IMO the 055 C/F is currently a great C/F tripod for the money. Neil.

Delta 400 @ 800 ISO in Microphen is a lighter and cheaper option.
