Set to buy Manfrotto 055XPROB 3-Section Tripod w/ 322RC2 Ballhead then Passover hold....

I am poised to upgrade from my first ever tripod, the Quantaray Titan II QT II-550. Whata piece.

I did some research and was ready to purchase a Manfrotto 055XPROB 3-Section Tripod w/ 322RC2 Ballhead from BH Photo and Video. Had it in my wishlist and procrastinated so now I am in the Passover hold. Enough time to question if I am making a good choice. I think mainly I am weary of clip locks.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I am looking to spend no more than $400 and plan to use for portrait and landscape.

Exactly. Could be divine intervention.

I have that tripod and like it very much. I use it for landscapes and the small amount of portrait photography that I do.

Thanks for commenting Howdy. How have the flip locks held up?
