took her out, with my 5d mark ii and gave her a whirl around the parents' yard. (residing there for the holiday)

I cant wait to really get the hang of this thing. the possibilities are endless.. EXCITING STUFFFFFF

Manfrotto 475B Tripod Legs (Black) with 503HDV Head
wow this thing is a beauty, a little bit too heavy duty for my needs but I'll use it for a while and maybe sell the legs to buy lighter ones, considering the legs are made to have 25lb. load and my max camera weight is way under that.
it really does feel solid as a rock.
there is a lot of adjustments but when you are experienced with a heavy duty tripod it comes naturally.
theres about 13 controls on the legs and about 11 adjustments on the head.
It feels natural and its already turning into an extension of my creativity without thinking.
It Pans smooth as butter!
very pro- looking results.
Available @ B & H as a combo.
this was a very assuring video i watched before i purchased
A big reason I bought this was not only for video but for holding the camera while I operate the controls on 45mm 2.8 TILT SHiFT LENS
