Review on ๐ŸŽฅ Manfrotto MVK500AM Black Lightweight Fluid Video System: Superior Stability with Twin Legs and Middle Spreader by Athenasby Whitney

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great addition to my video gear

I am a hobbyist and make videos for my local high school band. This role requires me to set up and tear down my gear very quickly as most gigs go by quickly. I found the Manfrotto MVH500AH tripod system to be a welcome addition to my kit. With the help of the handles I can quickly stretch my legs. The alignment bubble helps me get a horizontal view of the camcorder in a reasonable amount of time. I really appreciate the pan and tilt resistance. This article definitely improved my ability to record videos and removed a lot of stuttering from the videos I recorded. I also found the bag to be of higher quality and fairly easy to use. I usually leave the quick release plate attached to the camcorder (it fits snugly in my camera bag), which also allows me to set it up quickly. I was also surprised because the weight of the tripod is very reasonable for the quality. It's not the lightest tripod, but I think it's a fair compromise between great control, stability, and weight. I highly recommend it.
