Manfrotto MVT502AM Video Tripod with Telescopic Twin Legs (Black)

These legs are just ok for the price in my opinion. I think maybe I should have done more research into other brands making similar products for cheaper.The leg sections are strong and the locks are easy to operate, but other options for less have a single lock at the top for each leg, rather than a separate lock for every section.I also feel that the quality of the mid-spreader is unacceptable for the cost, it feels EXTREMLY cheap and doesn't have a hook for a weight or anything. I can lift the center of the spreader and make the legs uneven with a single finger, even with a camera on the tripod. The legs themselves also have a little more play than I would have expected for the price.

Este tripié cumplió con creces mi expectativas, la verdad para mi vale lo que cuesta

I have a C100 and a Manfrotto head on this set of sticks. Was worried initially about the longevity, but loved the 3 stage legs and the quick release clamps that allow quick up and down settings. I have used these legs for 2+ years and have only had to tighten some of the clamp bolts...nothing has broken or come close. These have been all over and I think they'll be around for many year to come. I come from a local TV news background, so I've seen my share of Millers, Vinten, Gitzo, etc...if I"m latching a 25 lb betacam onto it, I'll need something more substantial. If I'm putting today's smaller, lighter video/still offerings on it, it will do the job very well and not break your back doing so.

Se siente solido, la media bola es de 75 mm, pero trae un adaptador de 60 mm.La liga evita que se abra.

I purchase this to pair up with my Manfrotto 502HDV head. I didn't realized the tripod ballhead base is made out of plastic, since I worked with Manfrotto tripods on the regular basis, and all of them were metal (I think), but this seem to affect it's sturdiness or functionality. Quite the opposite! You have a metal ball head rubbing against the plastic base and it does not create friction, like on previous models. The price was also a pleasant surprise, knowing the Manfrotto's mainstream pedigree, and this is due to the fact it's made in China, unlike the previous ones which were forged in Italy.Nevertheless, I am very happy with the purchase!!!
