Another Ravelli offering

[Alfian]

Hi all, I got an email from amazon, as you do, offering something they thought I'd be interested in.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00139XOCI/ref=pe_186441_62829991_em_1p_0_ti

Its obviously the same tripod as the one I have with the trigger grip/ball head but this one has what looks like a substantial tilt and pan fluid head.  Might be of interest to someone, certainly looks like good value for money.

Just realised that since I got the mail its gone up from £40.02 to £43.96, still not so bad.

Hmm I'm after a heavy duty tripod, I might get one, even if the head isn't very fluid i'm sure it could be improved quite easily.

I'll post a mini review when/if I get it.

Thanks for the heads up.

James.

There is also this "used" item:

from the description it sounds more like "shop soiled" than used. The head is very similar to the Triton pan/tilt one that TS Optics sell. If so, looks like a good deal.

I think this window shopping is a bad habit, I keep wanting to spend money on stuff I really don't need.

That head certainly looks the business - very robust if it's anywhere near the build quality of the ballhead. I bought the ballhead version late last year(even though I already had an identical ballhead mount on a monopod),and I regard that tripod as an absolute steal! I could have been tempted by this new offering otherwise. Well spotted!
