Manfrotto536 Carbon Fiber 3-Stage Video Tripod with 75/100mm Bowl - Black

The Manfrotto 536 is an impressive tripod.One strange thing is the bowl is suppose to be 100mm, but instead is 89mm.It will accept a 100mm head, but it will not sit flush which is a little strange.I was shipped a total of 4 units and all were defective with scratches, chips, scuffs, white marks and/or dirt.Amazon did take care of me and paid for shipping both ways.Still not sure if it is Amazon reselling used items as new or Manfrotto is shipping used/damaged items to Amazon. Either way I returned them.Is Manfrotto quality control going down?

This tripod is awesome. I use it everyday as a news shooter and have to say I enjoy pulling it out every single time. It not only looks like a piece of art, it works beautifully. I love the fact that it can extend to nearly 80 inches. If you're in a crowded room for a press conference, you can easily raise it above all the other cameras and shoot over them. Plus, it's very stable. The carbon fiber legs are somewhat wider than my old Miller tripod and sturdier. Granted, it is also a little heavier but I don't consider that a con. It is still easy for me to carry. I'm 6'2", 190 lbs.I am using the Manfrotto 504HD video head, which I think is a piece of art in itself and buttery smooth, so the pair makes a great combo. The 536 tripod comes with a 75mm bowl adapter, which I'm using with the 504HD head. Fits perfectly, easy to assemble. I have used Miller and Vinten tripods, which can cost exponentially more money, and think the Manfrotto is every bit as good and better than those brands.

The tripod is solid. Good construction. The 75mm adapter is not included tho. Why would you even include that in the name...

I've always been a fan of Manfrotto. This one is great. Fairly light weight for its size, I plan to use it for video and stills. I also bought a mid-range Manfrotto video head and plan on buying a gimbal for photo use after some research. Everything on it is of good quality and the flip latches are quicker to use for me. I also like the maximum height for video in a crowded venue.

very sturdy and I love how hi and can get my camera

Super heavy duty. Almost 9 foot tall fully extended. I've been using for months now, and its rock solid and steady.

Legs bigger and stronger than I anticipated. Legs also very adjustable while still maintaining solidity. Great value for the price.

This will probably be the last tripod I ever need.

This is a great tripod but you do need to tighten the leg hinges with the included hex key from time to time, as they loosen up leaving you fighting against them every time you move the tripod.

Aufgrund des erhöhten Gewichtes meiner Kamera inkl. Rig musste ein neues stabiles Stativ her. Ich habe mich wieder für Manfrotto entschieden, da man bei dieser Firma bis auf wenige Ausnahmen auch etwas für das ausgegebene Geld erhält. Das Stativ kam gut verpackt an und gleich bemerkte ich das wirklich lachhafte Gewicht. Danke der 3 Auszüge schafft man es, das Stativ auf 2,40m Höhe zu montieren und hat damit gegenüber anderen Stativen ganz klare Vorteile. Die Verarbeitung ist TOP um nicht zu sagen PERFEKT! Dank Carbon ein stabiles Leichtgewicht. daher Klare Kaufempfehlung. Aber Achtung, man benötigt zum reibungslosen Betrieb eine Nivellierhalbkugel, diese findet ihr hier:  Manfrotto 500BALL Nivellierhalbkugel 100 mmManfrotto 500BALL Nivellierhalbkugel 100 mm

Plutôt pratique et semble solide verrais à l'usage.

Es perfecto si es lo que buscas. Construcción resisitente y muy bien acabada. Preferiría que fuera un poco más corto en posición cerrada.

高さと、軽さで購入したのですが、これしか持って行ってない時に、日の出のアップを撮影しなくてはいけなくなり、C300-2に500mmレフレックスレンズ、X2テレコンで１００0ｍｍ。スーパー３５なのでX1.6で３５ｍｍ換算、１６００ｍｍ相当、、海なので、風も結構吹いていて、パイプもシングル、ミッドスプレッダーないし、ブレるよねー、、、と思ったのですが、全く大丈夫でした。それどころか、ゆっくりパン棒触ってもぐらつかない。他の重たいの持って行く理由がなくなりました。
