I had high hopes for this being a Manfrotto, after reading many reviews for various tripods I thought Manfrotto was a brand name that could be trusted. The tripod is very slick and looks very nice. The legs are very stable and easy to operate. Where this tripod fails greatly is in the design of the tightening bolts on the fluid head. They go from totally tight to all the way lose in 1/4 of a turn which limits your ability to have it finely adjusted. Also the tightening bolt that tightens the up and down movement doesn't get all the way tight, it seems like the bolt is not long enough. Because of these reasons and the price of the tripod I returned it. My search continues.
