Anyone know about Manfrotto 443 Carbon One?

Bend The Light

Hi,

I have just acquired a manfrotto 443 Carbon One tripod. But I can't find anything about it on google searches or on eBay. Anyone know about them? I have yet to see it, my folks are collecting it tomorrow. Wondering if I got a good deal for £30?

Cheers

Norman Koren called it his favorite tripod, back in 2004 (cost $348):

Thanks. Must have missed that CNEt post, goodness knows why. Looks quite decent, anyway...

My mum collected it...can't wait to get it.

Does it come with the head shown in the picture?

Regardless, I do think this is easily worth the £30.

Yep. I just spoke to my mum and she confirms it has a ball and socket sort of arrangement...this is the picture the guy put up, so yes...it must have it included.
