Have checked out your Jessop’s links. Both tripods featured appear to be heavy duty and very sturdy. I used to carry my old Canon A1 (Old fashioned film camera) up mountains with a real good zoom lens. I have stunning pics taken at the edge of Glencoe and Loch Lomonside amongst loads of other locations. I never felt the need to take a tripod!! And if I did, I would certainly not take either shown in the Jessops links. I sometimes took a mini-tripod but I never used it. What sort of pictures do you take that you need a tripod?

I got the version of the 190 without the horizontal centre column trick and it's certainly solid enough for me. Mind you, I don't use it outside much, so I can't vouch for what it's like when it's windy.

A bit of an investment but a great bit of engineering.
