go SG now, benro and sirui has big christmas promotion damn cheap now! as cheap as jusino now! i heard the cf travel angel is around 600+myr (after convertion)

spec sheet dont tell u much until u actually TOUCH IT and USE IT. although sirui state 12kg LoadLimit, its not smooth at all! jusino was surprisingly smooth even it rated at 10kg LL. my benro used for 2 years+ (which i brought for 2k back then) the head still smooth, but then, the jusino i had is new, never used, so the head kinda, like new smooth.

i wont say jusino head is better, but the smoothness tells everything. if turning the camera up and down left right is not smooth, its pointless to pay so much for the head when cheaper panhead can do better.

only people who uses his jusino extremely can tell how good it last. i headly use the jusino as its heavy (non CF) lol

reason i got so many pods is because sometimes i set 2 camera to do 1-2 hours startrails. so i leave it there to shoot itself.

try go to benro website, search the sg authorised distri email/number mail them.

the promo info i got is from a friend who planning to go SG for christmas (backpacking style) and plan to grab a travel tripod there. he mailed most tripod company and those are the feedback he gotten, and yes, sirui is having a promotion too(damn cheap!), and benro have not release the promotion advert yet, but they are in progress of doing it. now i also heard fotopro wanna do promo also... wahahaha.

that the reason i wont recommend ppl sirui.

let say, i buy a tripod, do i expect it to last 5 year or 10 year or more then 15 years?
anything with spring and use under all weather condition, i wont expect it to live pass 5 years. because they get rusty.
at that price you are paying, do u, get a 5 year lifetime product or longer lifetime one?
