That is a good price for a 190, which fits your light and sturdy criteria.
BUT for macro work you maybe will need to get close to ground level, for
which I strongly recommend you get a 190PRO - which permits horizontal
fitting of the central column.
Of course, you don't get a head with the 190, so you have a pretty free
choice from any brand...

Subject: [OM] Tripod?
Hi,
OK, so I was out shooting again, and I'm really fed up with my tripod.
(It's a Cullman <something>, with a ballhead that can't be fastened very
tightly. The camera always slips.) So I thought about passing this tripod on
to someone with a digital P&S camera, after I found a new head for it.
I want a light, sturdy one so that I can take it with me while hiking.
It would mainly be used for night shots and macro.
I looked through the archives and found _tons_ of different tripod
suggestions. I also found a Manfrotto MA190 for 79EUR at a store in Germany
(www.foto-brenner.de). Would this be a good choice/price?
I don't want to spend a fortune on one since I also am looking for a head
for the Cullman tripod (suggestions?) and a backpack (currently favoring the
Lowepro Orion Trekker 2, so that I can carry the foto equipment plus other
stuff at the same time.)
Thanks,
Nils
