I have just purchased the Manfrotto 055XPROB and 804RC2 Tripod kit and it was great value and brilliant for all my needs. The head is great for landscape and potrait work; the handles provide ease of use when I use a heavier lens. Also the height is great as I am 5' 9"; the 190XPROB was just too small for me.
Has anyone used the spririt level or the seculine digital action level? I was wondering whether to buy one or not.
