Sturdy and useful tripod for extended trips and field use
I bought this tripod for a trip from the USA to central Siberia in order to image the total solar eclipse there in Aug 2008. The tripod is a bit on the heavy side, but it is always worth having something a bit more on the heavy and sturdy side than having something that shakes... especially in windy conditions... like in Siberia that day! The wind was a constant 25mph+ gusts up to 40mph. The ...

Simply Excellent!
Quality product. I have been a fan of the "Walmart" variety tripods until now. This head is bigger than I expected and not in a bad way. You get what you pay for. Tight and solid where it needs to be yet easy to adjust. I could not be happier.

A bargain - perfect first ball head
This ball head is highly-reviewed by so many people because it truly delivers a LOT of value for the money. I looked into it after reading suggestions in Scott Kelby's excellent "The Digital Photography Book". My tripod came with a pan head - a very good one - but I wanted to find out if I would prefer ball heads. Didn't want to spend a fortune (expensive ones run upwards of $200-300), but ...

Well priced Tripod, that looks good outside and in the studio.
I have bought many tripods througout the years. Lightweight tripods, a sweet carbon fiber tripod, and several that have proved to be nothing more than junk. In all that time, my favorite go to tripod is this Manfrotto Pro Tripod. It is well designed, looks great, and holds up well with extensive use. I go hiking 2-3 times a month, and use my tripod several times a week outside, I also use ...

My Manfrotto Tripod rocks
This tripod is (by far) the easiest, most solid (as in Mt. Rushmore solid) tripod I have ever used. You know a tripod is good when you don't have to think about. It allows you to focus instead on taking the photo. Is it pricey? You bet. Do I regret my purchase? Hell no. Neither will you.

Excellent (Preferred this to 322rc2)
I have this on top of a Manfrotto 055cxpro3 tripod, and it's a terrific combination. The head is very steady, easy to adjust, and has a separate pan adjustment (v. useful when doing panoramas). I love the RC2 quick release head (and I have the same one on my monopod, so it's very convenient). I tried a Manfrotto 322rc2 as well, which people on Amazon really seem to love. I wasn't crazy about ...

The Perfect Head for your tripod
I have a big DSLR with a battery grip, as such it is pretty heavy. When you put on some heavy glass, especially a long telephoto lens, most heads will drop and fall under the pressure. I originally had a panorama head (made for doing 360 degree panoramas) the problem was, I had to remove by battery grip, and only use my 50mm prime to use that pan head with my other tripod. It could not ...
