Manfrotto are the only tripod to go with. I sware by them. The only other option id go for is a tripod actually built for extreme water conditions and obviously has a protection against salt water. Cant think of the name but i'll PM it to you when i find the name

I got one of the Argos ones and thought it was great until I started using a cullman one that I was very kindly gifted. No comparison in the two and the culman is as solid as a rock. 8)
