Manfrotto MVH500AH Fluid Head & 755XB Tripod with Carrying Bag

Great quality esp for the price! Quick release works great, fluid head is smooth as silk. But I have noticed vertical slippage on telephoto in all but high-end sticks. I might need to do a better job balancing the camera but thats not always possible in run-and-gun situations.

I use the tripod with C-100 camera. It's sturdy, though not very light, but manageable (in terms of weight), telescopic legs afford great hight flexibility. The head works well for panning and tilting. It comes in a nice carrying case. I use the tripod for my freelance work as a one-woman band.

I have a few Manfrotto setups. The 755XB sticks are AWESOME and I wish I had more of them. They allow you to get the height of a photo tripod with the leveling ability of a video tripod, which is awesome. The 500AH head is good too.

This particular model is the perfect intersection of price, weight and portability, and functionality for smaller cameras. The sideways plate release is perfect for run and gun type shooting when you need to quickly switch between tripod and handheld.

I use this tripod for music videos, time lapse photography and long exposure photos. The stable legs are complimented well by the sturdy head. I use it with a Canon DSLR and have no worries about my camera falling or being unprotected, in fact, there is a hook on the tripod to hang a weight.

Purchased the tripod to use for video with Nikon Z6. Nice simple fluid pan and easy leveling.

I always used Manfrotto tripods, but this particular one did not impress me. The head is great but the legs proved to be a disaster. Recently I purchased this item and one of the leg felt (a segment of a leg) on the very first job!

Best tripod for the money, silky smooth head.

Easy to take form one place to other. Works great with my slider. Super firm

I've only used this on one wedding so far, so I can't give a full review, but there's some things I wanted to say to future buyers - 1. I was hoping I'd be able to unscrew the tripod head on this tripod easily and put my slider on there.
