Is it normal that the release switches are REALLY HARD to pull? I have to bend the plastic basically and it's so stiff. Can I soften it with the allen wrench socket in the back of the release mechanism?
Asked by: Razvan
The release latches shouldn’t be difficult to pull, but you can use the hex key in the back to loosen it slightly and see if that would help.

Does this tripod work for the Canon C300 mk II?
Asked by: Gerald
Yes, Magnus REX VT-5000 2-Stage Video Tripod with Fluid Head has a load capacity of 17lbs. It's camera release plate comes with 3/8-16 screw which is fully compatible with your camera. If you will be using multiple accessories attach on your camera as well as long Cine lenses I will recommend the Magnus REX VT-6000 2-Stage Video Tripod with Fluid Head since it will be more steady on heavier equipment load.
