Both my co-worker (big photo addict) and my other friend that takes pictures for a living recomended this tri pod. Said it will last me for ever, it will take a beating and keep on standing oh and it has some nice weight on it so it will hold any camera and lense heck it looked good to me and it feels really nice too..the joy stick is funny reminds me of those old Atari games hahahahaha

i think i have the same Tripod Carlos.. i paid about $115 for it.. Manfrotto I heard is the best out t here..

Bogen/Manfrotto tripods are great, solid tripods that have been around forever. I have a 3001B Pro with a 3 way tilt head but the only thing I hate about it is the leg release. In their newer models they went to the leg lock release. In older models they had a push button release where the buttons are situated near the neck of the tripod and all you had to do was hold your tripod at the height you want it and press the buttons to let the legs fall out. I miss that design =\ Congrats on your tripod!

Yea, a co-worker has the same stile your talking about the button release. I haven't seen it but he showed me a picture of it...see that push button makes so much sense...why change it

I love those balljoint swivels they make it super easy to manuever your camera.

Bogen/Manfrotto have been in the industry forever and are the choice for many professional photographers.

There is another tripod manufacture that's been around for quite some time and if I had the money, I would go with Gitzo. They make amazing tripods that are just as solid as Bogen/Manfrotto but can weigh significantly less. Their carbon series is a great example. I used to work at a camera store and it was unbelievable how light these tripods were.

But anyways, the tripod is a great addition to your collection, Carlos and I'm sure you'll soon find a need/want to buy a monopod. They're great for shooting events like track days. Easy to move around and easy to pivot. Congrats again.
