Bogen Manfrotto Digi 719B

[._.9]

The new ball head Bogen Manfrotto Digi 719B is impressive. Not too

heavy 3.74 lbs, can support up to 8.8 lbs and is surprisingly tall

64 1/4 inches. It also folds to less than 20 inches. The price is

good too (B&H 99 dollars - NY customers I guess will add 8 bucks for

tax). It is sturdy and is perfect for these enthusiasts that don't

want to spend too much and buy more than one tripod since this one

seems to be a all in one. Of course pros will argue tha they want a

quick release but this can be added later. Although I have to

recognize it is not easy and quick to mount but the quality of

Manfrotto is worth this little effort. I am happy with it so far.
