Manfrotto 7302YB –MY

Gotta new tripod from cathay photo, and its the entry-level of the manfrotto tripod series. Cost me $178, originally at $180. Like there’s a two dollars off because i compare the prices with the marina outlet. And he somewhat defeated by my bargain. =D Not much of a winner for me, cos it’s only a two dollars off.

Anws, below just a gallery to those who are interested in tripods and stuffs..

May sell it away one day. And i think i am quite sure of it. Limited uses, even though it suits me now. Wait till i have lots of money. (Honestly, i am not gonna let my money flow like tapwater.)

Pros:

-Reputable brand, 5 years warranty.

-Comes with the MUST HAVE quick-release plate (that’s why i think it deserves the name “tripod”.) (other entrylvl models dont have)

-Sturdy legs. Firm sia, i think wont break that easily. Nid some kinda skill to break it too. Learning kungfu?

-Great and fast way extending of centre column. “Flip-Pull-Flop” kinda thing.

-Short in size when retracted. Somewhat light too. (Obviously heavier than carbon fibre ones)

-Nothing else. Entry lvl tripod, so dont expect much.

Cons

-No level indicator. Cant straighten the camera accurately.

-Cant operate for panning shots.

-Non-changeable tripod head. (Even though i still quite like the build-in ball head.)

-Level locks for the legs, I DONT LIKE COS ITS not the twist and pull kind of locks. Lousy~!
