Any suggestions as to where to get the best prices for ManF's?

I've seen some over at 1Utama but not sure if the prices are the best on offer and if they had the 190.

YL's selling 190xprob for rm400. 486rc goes for rm190. Just went there earlier today.
Gizbiz.com.my selling at rm390. 486rc at rm190. Online purchase. Has anybody made any purchases from gizbiz.com.my? I'm not that confident of purchasing online.

for the RM10 price difference, might as well just get from YL, anyway, u might wanna save a bit by getting the 484RC, the 486RC can hold 6KG, but the 190XproB wont be able to hold up to that amount.. getting the 484RC seems like a better fit..

the 141RC is an old model, but as long as it works fine, who cares if its old or new model... tongue.gif
it's a 3 way head btw, holds up to 6KG.
the 055ProB maximum height is around 176CM, taller than me when fully extended, add on the head, i think the camera is standing @ around 180CM tongue.gif .. and minimum height is around 11cm, which will be perfect for macros.
the center column can be placed horizontally for special purpose and macro. mine is bought as used set, but still in very very good condition.
if ur budget is around RM500, i think u can get the 190XproB with a ball or 3 way head for RM500+, the 190XproB is slightly smaller and lighter than the 055proB, but the center column can be placed horizontally without removing it, so, more convenient. if u have more budget, then take a look at the latest 055XproB, it can hold more weight compared to 190 series. the 055 and 190 series should be the best selling model from manF.

i think it's just a matter of preference.. u can get both the head, then sell off after u decided which 1 u like, u wont lose much.. biggrin.gif
i've not used a ballhead before.. dunno how it feels.. still deciding whether to grab a ball head now..

thanks guys for the info. I think I'll cut down on my unnesessary spendings and get the 190xprob.

BTW, What do you call those tripod heads with a handgrip handle like a fighter jet? They look expensive.....
