Hello
I was curious if folks here have had any experiences with Sirui tripods. My Manfrotto 475 is becoming too heavy to lug around, and I've been looking at the Sirui W-2204 or R-4214X as a replacement. Tripod will mostly be used with a Ritter 8x10 and, for the time being no extremely heavy lenses. I will probably upgrade my head later, but for the time being will go headless or adapt the slightly heavy Bogen 3047 head I have.
Also I realize that there are other options; I've looked at Benro (a possibility) and Gitzo (too expensive). I'm trying to keep things reasonable as in the $500 or less range, of which I have found a few sellers who seem reputable who carry the Sirui brand.
TIA for any help!
