Comments about Manfrotto MVT502AM Telescopic Twin Leg Video Tripod Legs:
I have used this tripod with the 501 head on two jobs:1. A full day wedding2. A 3 day trip to Southern Mexico.Here's what I like about it. It's light. It fit in my checked luggage without the head.... I can easily carry it around with the camera and quickly set it up with the half ball to level. Then I tap the center connector with my knee and it folds up and I can carry the whole thing around even through tight doorways or a wedding reception with tight tables. Then I put it down, use the half ball to level and quickly get my next shot.I also like the levers for adjusting height. It's a lot faster and easier than turning nobs. I even used it with our slider. I don't know where the problem lies, but the slider sags when the camera is at the end. Our FS 100 may just be too heavy for the head. I don't know. I would not recommend this for heavy sliders or jibs. Go for a bigger setup. Other than that, I really like it and would recommend it to anyone.

Comments about Manfrotto MVT502AM Telescopic Twin Leg Video Tripod Legs:
I bought this product for a wide range of video work. The Legs seem like they can support a good amount of weight but when extended to full capacity the connections aren't as strong as I wanted. They dont wabble or fall out of place, nothing this dramatic, but they're not like a good pair of single tube carbon fiber legs.
