I *almost* bought a new tripod. I decided to just go with a new head for now. Providing the new head fits my existing tripod, I'll be keeping it. On the chance that the new head doesn't fit, would you be interested in my current 'pod? It's carbon fiber, has retractable rock spikes, and I can provide two quick release plates. It's seen use, I won't lie, but it's solid.
I'm changing heads only because I want a ballhead that uses Manfrotto RC2 compatible plates, so I can use one of these: http://www.camdapter.com/ My current head is damn close, but the RC2 plate fits just a tad loose, which means it may as well not fit at all.
The only thing is shipping would probably cost a lot.
Actually this may not make sense, considering you could probably buy one new at best buy for what shipping would be.
