I like manfrotto tripods, you get triple the music without losing portability or stability.

That headline is terrible btw

Manfrotto 503HDV provides good head

is much better.

One year professional use maximum and its trash. Whos kidding who? You get what you pay for. Buy a Sachtler, Miller, Vinten, or Cartoni and it will last for ten times as long as a Bogen/Manfrodo. Cost five times as much but last ten times as long.

Bogen/Manfrodo is strickly amateur stuff. Low end prosumer.

Love the Bogen/Manfrotto stuff.

Easy to use and robust, even in the hands of Law Enforcement which is saying something.
(they tend to play rough with their toys)

Yeah, baby that right. You hold up that Kraznogorsk. Uhhhhhh..... Yeah. That's the money shot right there....

But in all seriousness, that's a beautiful head. One of the neatest things I've ever seen from Bogen/Manfrotto was a $129 monopod wherein you could actually unfold three legs, and make yourself a modest tripod. Very cool.
