thanks!!
Personally, I wouldn’t choose either of those.
If you value your camera, then you need a tripod that is sturdy and reliable enough to be able to handle the camera in different conditions (a tripod that shakes in the wind isn’t much good if you do landscape photography).
You should factor in the maximum weight that both the tripod AND head can support (my camera loaded with flash and a 70-200 f/2.8L lens is ~6.6 pounds).
When I was looking for a tripod, I had some criteria that it need to fit:
1) It (tripod/head) had to be able to support 8 pounds. My camera/big lens/flash come in around 6.6 pounds
2) The total height (tripod/head) is at least my height minus the camera height (I am 75″ tall minus a 6″ camera height equals 69″).
3) The leg locks must be secure so that the tripod doesn’t slip
4) It has to be a quality name….Manfrotto, Gitzo, Vanguard, etcetera.
There are certain things you can not just look at a picture in order to buy it, some things need to be handled. The best thing to do is take your gear to the local camera shop and try everything out. I took my camera gear to a local camera shop and tried the various tripods and heads before I bought a Manfrotto 055XPROB and a Vanguard head. That came to around $250, it is sturdy in the outdoors as well as in the studio and it will outlive me.
