Flavio,
If you intend to travel/trek apart from the extra weight of the 3 way heads
(even the new Mag) beware that the protruding knobs (not in the case of the
Mag head) can be a pain, they catch on things, they make packing more of
a pain but it will offer more control over the standard ball head. I have just
purchased a 441 for trekking and after consideration I opted for the 308 ball
head (I have a spare 029 available). The 055Pro (455) is a great tripod and
will give you at least a decade of excellent reliability (assuming that the new
4 position leg locks are as good as the old 055).
Cheers,
Rob Studdert
