i just tested a few tripods today at penang.
the photopro m-5mini is nice for entry dslr and good support for videography. price for dslr and photo accessories always is cheaper here in penang, as i got quoted rm220 for it.
1 thing i didn't like about the mini is the leg design. although it is easy to twist and unlock all the joints in one shot, i must also twist it hard so that it can lock properly. and the warranty the shop give me is only 3 months.
swt.
then i go to another shop to check out the jusino 255. before this, i heard from many retailers saying the jusino is not good as it claimed.
but to my surprise, after some weight testing using my body weight, the ballhead still not move a bit. the whole design is rather normal, and the monopod is rather short for normal usage.

money wise, i will recommend the jusino 255.
a really worthwhile item costing less than rm400.
i just bought mine in penang with price a bit cheaper than shashinki.
i now have a vanguard alta 263 and jusino 255 lying in my room doing nothing...lol.
