Default Mafrotto or giottos
I can't decide between them? Can anyone reccomend? I'm looking for a well built tripod, lightweight for carrying about and will be buying a ball head to.

Giottos GTMTL8360B Giottos GTMTL8360B
and the
Giottos MH1300-621 Series 2 Ball Head Giottos MH1300-621 Series 2 Ball Head

Just tried updating the links and the same thing happened? Anyway I got the following;

Giottos MH1300-621 Series 2 Ball Head With Sliding Quick Release

A while back, I think, Bogen bought out Manfrotto.

Neither of your links seem to work.

This is strange, but when I click on the OP's links, they do not work. When I click on the links in your post, they do work. Hover over them with the mouse and see if the URLs change.
