I get the old one!!!!! on loan anyway hee hee.

Phil - did you buy it from Aspen? What is their customer service like? I am tempted to buy one of their products but haven't until I got some reliable feedback

Yes. It was Aspen Hereford.

I'd certainly recommend them. The guy was very helpful on the phone and as I said the delivery time was amazing.

Here's the link

Hmmmmmm, well I ordered but unfortunately haven't been terribly impressed with them and have had to cancel my order

I would advise people to always phone and check if they have items in stock before you place an order even if their website shows plenty of stock

Redsnapper tripods seem to be getting increasing popular as well made and at a competitive price. Tripods are great once you get them to where you want them. Lugged mine on an 8 mile hike last weekend for nothing!

Lets hope you dont have to wade through the cr@p i had to with Backdrop Source for my refund!!

Gawd - I hope not

I do have to commend them on a fast refund, I paid via PayPal and they have just refunded the money. Will see if it arrives back on my credit card now lol

I have the Manfrotto 055XPROB, What I like about it is the way the centre column swings sideways without having to take it completely out of the frame. Yes it is fairly heavy but that has its benefits if using when windy.

Well I have to commend Warehouse Express, I placed the order at 5:30pm Friday evening and we had the tripod by 9:00am Saturday morning (we had to pay extra for a guaranteed Saturday delivery but given that I needed the tripod that day I was prepared to pay it). Excellent service from them
