I was looking online to purchase a new tripod, after reading lots of reviews I still wasn't sure exactly what brand I wanted. the best tripods I had used previously were the Calumet 7300 at the college I attend, I wanted something similar to that but a little lighter. I logged on to the Calumet site and within seconds a window popped up asking if I wanted to chat, I clicked the link and wrote a brief message, within seconds Sean replied to me asking how he could help. I explained .. again very briefly what I was looking for and he quickly sent me a link to a tripod, It was the Calumet 7300 which I had used at college. I told him that I needed something that would give me lower angles. he replied with "how about this ?" the Manfrotto MT190XTPRO .. It was exactly what I had been looking for . and it was £20-30 cheaper that most other places I searched for the same model. I'll definitely be buying from Calumet again top class service
