          Comments about Manfrotto Mvh502A Head, 546B Tripod With Padded Bag:

          I've used many Manfrotto tripods and this one is good for the price. The legs are great no problems there. My only "issue" is the head it is a fluid head but it has a odd spring back on it. It's not bad its just more springy than I expected. The other thing is the tilt lock is in a very odd place under the tripod plate that required you to walk around to lockdown. Difficult when you tripod is on a platform. Overall this is a good product for the price.
