Review snippets: I am an amateur who records video for my local high school marching band. This role requires me to set up and tear down my equipment very quickly as most performances are fast. I found the Manfrotto MVH500AH tripod system / I have started shooting more video with my 5D and wanted something other than my ball head for video. I already have a Manfrotto 055X carbon fiber tripod and wanted something that would go onto that quickly. What a breeze!
