Did anyone tried the Manfrotto Neotec 458B? Is it good enough for the
Rollei 6008 setup with longer lens (e.g. 180/f2.8 and 300/f4 etc...)?
The technological advancement seems to allow much quicker setup time and
attracted me more than the always price-increasing Gitzo alternative. For
those of you who have both Manfrotto 458B and Gitzo like 1227, 13xx etc...,
please also make a hands on comparison. I am more interested to know hands
on experience than data.
Can anyone of you also share the experience of the ballheads from Really
Right Stuff? The spring loaded medium one (BH40 LR) together with the 458B
seems to be a pretty quick and neat setup when mated together. For
absolute steadiness, I understand the Gitzo 1325 or 1348 together with Arca
B1 ballhead or Really Right Stuff BH-55 could serve well, however I have to
strike a balance with the price and equally important the weight and speed.
Moreover, a tripod that is too heavy and always stay at home does not make
much sense. Comments please?!
