i have looked at a few fluid video heads, but think the 322 would be better suited for my need , when set up for left hand control,

i test drove a 190 CL in jessops yesterday ( only one they had in stock ) and to be honest , it looked and felt like a nice tripod, however i think the 055 looks that bit better constructed, not taking anything away from the 190 tho,

btw, as a pack i can get the 055 Pro B with 322RC2 head for £155 , good price---bad price ??

Excellent price ....care to share where from ?? I'm interested in a new tripod myself but was waiting to see if I could have a play with a few down at the 'Focus on Image' show at the NEC come the end of this month.
