The total weight supported (4 Kilos for head, 5 foot) is far from being achieved.
Anyway, for the price (96 at time of order, against 170 at D @ RTY) I am fully satisfied, no play between the elements, and if there was any game is adjustable! there is virtually no threaded part directly in the material, instead we are treated to nylstop replaceable nuts
Everything is very stable, robust, well designed, properly fitted, missing the head can be a bit of flexibility (it has to be rode) But overall, this is a no-fault!
Weight is therefore still, but you want a quality all aluminum foot without weaknesses that surely will collect many years of loyal service, not three strands of reed to ask 1500 hardware above!
Deployed thoroughly with the center column to the lowest, my sight falls smack bang in front of my eyes and I did 1m83, there are still 40 cm in reserve.
you can adjust the firmness of the blocks with the small tool supplied, both feet are covered with gum handy to move together without miss, the quick tray is handy too and suffers no weakness.
In short, my first purchase Manfrotto, I highly recommend!
