Chill maaro, getting the best kit is a never ending process. Enjoy what you have.

But yes, the center column is a last resort. Use the legs as much has possible, use a timer to minimize shake, turn off OIS when on tripod and other steps to increase stability.

Nac I am telling you again...dont expand the center column to max...just use 20-30% of center column ...it will feel more stable...and u should not exert any load on the tripod by hand or body weight...its just to keep cam stable not to support you :D

A quick search tells me your thickest column have diameter of 27mm and of a manfrotto 055 have 30mm-26-22 ...your whole tripod weights 1350 gm and manfrotto legs alone weights 2.5kg :) so you can see

Point noted. Yeah, I got to keep that in mind. Else I will bend the legs if not breaking it.
Yeah, the quality of aluminum also matters. Going by the manfrotto spec, the wall thickness is just 2mm (aprox). I think iron are stronger than aluminum, they can try that right? or is it super heavy?

Yeah, I shouldn't keep blabbing about it. After all I know it will be. :)
Turning off IS on important thing. Even though I know about it, I don't remember how many I have done it when I used my cam on make shift arrangements. Thank you. :)

[MENTION=125321]nac[/MENTION] its not that iron is stronger then alumunium.....but ultimately tripod is made to carry around...as you now know tripod need to be durable, portable and stable.
I think Iron have tendency to catch rust and its heavy...Alumunium they play with , making it light and its durable too but not too stable...Stronger Alumunium tripods are easily available but they are heavy and not too portable..

So its a adjustment between those 3 :)

You don't have restrict yourself with portrait. If the sky is clear, go for astro photography. It's just few days after new moon day, you can very well try star trail. I have seen (you too would have seen) landscape with tele zoom lens. So you can try landscape too. It's just the start of the week, plan something and you can go and have fun your new lens this weekend.

That would give a different effect.
But I wonder how you guys keep up from morning 7 till midnigh... I will be dog tired, in fact I would have packed up even before noon. That's the kinda stamina I have in my body.

yeah at least we can come back down before 12. From base to panvel and from panvel back, timing can vary a lot depending on transport availability

well, there is a shortcut. Was looking at stars in Rajodi beach and it struck me that as long as you know which star is where, they are just points of light and it is possible to extract a startrail from a single exposure in pp
