Don't know which tripod to get

[WadeCourtney]

I saw this one the other day: Induro but cheaper than amazon by about $20.

But I really wanted this combo 055XPROB

With this head 322RC2

The main thing that sticks out to me is that with the manfrotto legs, I can put the center post sideways, while with the other one, I can only go vertical.

Is this a big deal?

If I could afford it I would get the Manfrotto. It's just not in my budget at this time. I've never heard of the other. If the cost of the 055 is prohibitive then research the other one and see if it will do what you need and put the higher grade tripod off for a few months.
