Many advance amateur and pro here use Gitzo, the one don't buy it just due
to the cost, all "want" one. Are Gitzo superior, to me yes! I have a
Manfrotto 190 Pro, it is good and cheap, just a bit heavy. I also have a
Cullmann monopod, the head is good but the tube is very poor, need a lots of
force to tighten, the worse is you need double the force to loose it. If you
don't mind the high price of Gitzo, it is definite the best I have ever
seen.
