Heavy Duty Tripod

    I recently acquired a 4×5 camera and would like a sturdier tripod than my Manfrotto 190 to hold it on. Something like a Manfrotto 055 or similar or heavier really. I don’t need any bells and whistles … just something sturdy.

    Anyone got anything like that lying around that they don’t use that would be willing to part with?

    How much are you willing to spend if you dont mind me asking? As im about to put an almost mint manfrotto 055xpro tripod up for sale.

    Well I can get the basic Manfrotto 055XB Classic for 130 euros new in Conns and to be honest, as far as I can see the PRO models just have the “quick switch to horizontal centre column feature” as extra. I can see how that would be pretty useful to some, but for me it’s easier to switch to horizontal by rotating the film back!

    So I would be looking for something that would cost less than the retail price for a 055XB ….
